April 26th Board Meeting -- Ch-ch-ch-changes

Top of last night's Board Meeting was the adjournment of the existing Board and the seating of the new Board. Bob Nunamaker, Pat Hughes, and President Paula Zasadil continued with the Board, Vice-President Don Rose retired, and Steve Knar joined the new Board. Rose and Kay Laube, who resigned from the Board during the Executive Session of the meeting, were presented with plaques to honor their service to the district.

After the current Board was adjourned, Supt. Hill presided over the balance of the meeting, which saw the swearing-in of the new Board members and the election of new officers. The new Board unanimously elected Zasadil as President and Doris Sadik as Vice-President of the new Board. Both were nominated without opposition. The Board also approved Bob Blumberg and Lois Bowman to continue as Treasurer and Secretary, respectively.

A reception followed the seating of the new Board. Cake, punch, and coffee were served.

The Board issued a Press Release later in the meeting to announce the procedures for filling the vacancy left by Kay Laube. It reads as follows:
