Salina Board accepts Chad Tucker resignation, appoints Casey McWhirt to Seat 2
Summary
The Salina Board of Education accepted the resignation of Seat 2 member Chad Tucker and unanimously appointed Casey McWhirt to fill the vacancy through April 6, 2027. The appointment passed by board vote with one member absent; no oath of office was recorded.
The Salina Board of Education on Jan. 13 accepted a resignation and appointed a replacement for Seat 2. Board President Leroy Monk moved to accept the resignation letter from Chad Tucker; Jarred Sorum seconded the motion and the board voted 4–0, with Tucker absent.
The board then moved to fill the vacancy. Vice-President Greg Rice moved and President Leroy Monk seconded a motion to appoint Casey McWhirt to Seat 2 for the remainder of the term, which ends April 6, 2027. The motion passed by the same recorded vote of 4–0 with Tucker absent. The agenda listed an Oath of Office for McWhirt, but the meeting record shows no action taken on that item.
The actions alter the board’s membership immediately; the record lists no public dissent or alternative nominees. The minutes do not specify whether McWhirt assumed voting duties immediately beyond recorded votes later in the meeting.
