Board president resigns; Heather Reynolds nominated and sworn in
Summary
The board president announced a medical resignation and nominated Heather Reynolds as successor; the board approved the nomination and Reynolds took the oath during the meeting.
The sitting board president announced they would resign as board president for medical reasons and opened the floor for nominations for a successor. "I am going to resign as the school board president," the president said, and then nominated Heather Reynolds to serve as the next board president.
Board members seconded the nomination and the motion passed by voice vote; the transcript records the result as "Motion carries." Heather Reynolds subsequently took the oath of office during the meeting. The clerk administered the oath and the new president recited: "I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of New York, and then I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of school board president." The transcript does not include a roll-call tally for the nomination vote.
Board members commented that Reynolds' experience — including prior service as board president — makes her a practical choice as the district enters budget season. The board proceeded with the rest of the agenda following the leadership change.
