Oak Park board accepts resignation, fills officer posts amid vacancy for vice president
Summary
The Oak Park Board accepted a trustee resignation that created a Vice President vacancy, elected Tiffany Scott as Vice President, held two rounds of treasurer nominations with one failing and one succeeding, and elected Aisha Tyler as Secretary.
The Oak Park Board of Education accepted a March 6 letter of resignation from Trustee Xondra Clark, creating a vacancy in the Vice President seat, President Mattison said. The board voted unanimously to accept the resignation.
The board moved quickly to fill leadership roles. Board Member Perryman-Tanks nominated Tiffany Scott for Vice President; the nomination carried unanimously. Two attempts were made to elect a treasurer: Corporan's first nomination of Tyler failed (Ayes: Tyler, Corporan; Nays: Mattison, Rogers, Perryman-Tanks, Scott). Rogers' subsequent nomination of Perryman-Tanks for Treasurer passed (Ayes: Mattison, Perryman-Tanks, Rogers, Scott; Nays: Tyler, Corporan). Later, Scott moved and the board elected Tyler as Secretary by unanimous vote.
Why it matters: The changes adjust the board's officer roster immediately after the resignation and set which trustees will occupy board leadership roles while the Vice President seat remains vacant. No date was set in the minutes to fill the vacant seat.
The board carried the motions with recorded tallies for each vote.
