Summary

At a June 16 meeting, the Blue Ridge ISD Board of Trustees reorganized leadership: Trustee John Gaulden was elected board president and Trustee Kevin Dauster elected vice president; both elections carried on unanimous recorded votes with two members absent.

Board Vice President Kevin Dauster called the Blue Ridge ISD Board of Trustees meeting to order at 6:00 PM on June 16 and oversaw a reorganization of the board. On a motion by Trustee Lonnie Murphy, seconded by Trustee Gary Lillard, "I make a motion to nominate John Gaulden as Board President." The motion passed with five votes in favor and two absences.

Trustees then elected Kevin Dauster as Board Vice President on a motion by Murphy seconded by Jenna Capps. The board also approved a nomination for Scott Cessna as Board Secretary. All three organizational motions passed with recorded votes of five in favor and two absent (Scott Cessna and Matt Grier recorded as absent). The board recorded individual votes by trustee name as part of the official minutes.

The leadership changes take effect immediately for board governance and bank-signature authorizations, which the board handled later in the meeting. The reorganization followed the swearing-in of new trustees earlier in the meeting.
