The board’s decision to approve a grant for enhancing computer science and high school course access was one of the most impactful developments discussed. The grant aims to improve educational opportunities for students by broadening the availability of vital computer science courses, which are increasingly important in today’s digital economy.

In other significant business, the board confirmed the results of the November 5th, 2024 election. Kelly Pella and Frank Pepe were re-elected for three-year terms, receiving 2,783 and 2,672 votes, respectively. This re-election introduces continuity and stability in board governance, allowing for ongoing projects and policies to persist without disruption.

The board also conducted its annual reorganization, electing Jean Donaldson as the new president and John Eisener as vice president for the 2025 term. This leadership transition is expected to guide the board through the upcoming year, with an emphasis on maintaining the momentum of current initiatives.

These actions are typical of a reorganization meeting.
