- Meeting Overview:
The Manchester School Board convened to swear in newly elected board members and appoint new leadership. Gayle Mount was elected as Board President and Laura Wingler as Vice President. During the meeting, a code of ethics was outlined for board members, and the meeting schedule was updated to accommodate extended executive sessions.
In a recent meeting, the Manchester School Board witnessed the swearing in of several newly elected board members. Following the oath of office administered by Board Attorney Thomas Monahan, the board conducted elections for its top leadership positions. Gayle Mount secured the position of Board President through unanimous consent while Laura Wingler was chosen as Vice President.
The meeting also offered an educational moment with an overview of the board members’ code of ethics, delivered by Monahan. The focus was on the importance of functioning as a unified board rather than as individuals, with the proper channels for addressing issues being through the Superintendent Diane Pedroza or Business Administrator Craig A. Lorentzen, CPA. Monahan emphasized the confidentiality required in executive sessions and the prohibition of using board positions for personal gain.
Additionally, an adjustment was made to the upcoming meeting schedule. Fay Weinstein noted that the January 17 board meeting would begin earlier than usual at 5:00 p. m. to allow time for extended executive sessions, although the public session would maintain its normal 6:30 p. m. start time.
The meeting concluded with a public comment period where community member Dani Staples expressed congratulations to the newly sworn-in board members, as well as to the newly elected Board President Mount and Vice President Wingler.
