- Meeting Overview:
At the recent Cinnaminson School Board meeting, Laura Fitzwater was elected as the new board president through a narrow 5-4 vote. Ed Kenny was selected as the board vice president, also by a 5-4 margin. Both elections were the focal points of the meeting, which also included routine organizational matters and public comments.
The election of the board president was an event, with two candidates nominated: Laura Fitzwater and Michael Bramhall. The board members cast their votes, resulting in Fitzwater securing the presidency with a close 5-4 decision. The vote illustrated a division among board members, signaling potential challenges or dynamics in future deliberations.
Following the board president election, the process for electing the vice president commenced. Ed Kenny and Eileen Blin were nominated. Kenny emerged victorious, also by a 5-4 vote, mirroring the tight contest of the previous election. This result underscores the competitive nature of board leadership roles and could influence upcoming board proceedings.
The meeting also covered various organizational agenda items, such as the approval of district policies, the reappointment of personnel, and the designation of official school notifications. The board approved these items without debate. The board also approved the district’s mission statement, which was included as part of the agenda.
