A motion to remove Board President Carrie Germain and to appoint Trustee Chuck Melki as president failed after a 3-3 roll call vote at the Sept. 10 special meeting.
Trustee Autumn Henry moved to remove Germain from the Board of Education presidency and to move Chuck Melki into the president position; the minutes record Chuck Melki as the motion's supporter. The roll call recorded C. Germain- no; A. Bouchard- no; C. Melki- yes; K. Engel- yes; A. Henry- yes; K. Winter- no. With three yes votes and three no votes the motion did not pass.
The minutes record earlier discussion about Germain stepping down as president and board concerns that formed the context for the motion, but they do not record any formal removal action or any change in officers following the vote. The minutes do not include statements from Germain, Henry, or others beyond the roll-call outcomes and the motion text.
