Suzanne Jones nominated Chelsea Gray for chair; Kevin Gish seconded the nomination, which was approved unanimously. After electing the chair, the board discussed relocating the August 11 primary and the November 3 general election because Sharon Elementary School will be under summer construction and the gymnasium will be unavailable in August and may not be available in November.
