New Leadership Elected at Hoboken School Board Meeting

In a shift of leadership, the Hoboken School Board welcomed new members and elected a new president and vice president during their latest meeting. The board administered the oath of office to newly elected members Sharyn Angley, Alex De La Torre, and Chetali Khanna. Following the swearing-in, Ailene McGuirk accepted the nomination and was elected as the new president, while Sharyn Angley was elected as the new vice president.

The meeting commenced with the administration of the oath to Sharyn Angley, Alex De La Torre, and Chetali Khanna, signalling the start of their terms on the Board. Their inauguration was met with applause from those present.

The positions of president and vice president of the Board saw a reshuffle as nominations were put forward and voting ensued. Ailene McGuirk accepted the nomination for the presidency, which was proposed by members of the Board including Leslie Norwood, and was elected with a unanimous vote. Sharyn Angley, who previously served five years as Board President, was nominated and unanimously elected as the new vice president.

The newly elected president Ailene McGuirk acknowledged the contributions of her predecessor, Sharyn Angley, and thanked her for her five years of leadership as president. McGuirk also expressed gratitude to Melanie Tekirian for her service as the outgoing vice president. McGuirk indicated that she would rely on Angley’s expertise in the coming months and highlighted the importance of the contributions made by both Angley and Tekirian to the school district.

During the meeting, it was also declared that the current 2023 committee structure would remain in place for the regular January meeting. However, an organizational shift was announced to take place between the January meeting and the February committee meetings, at which point the new committee assignments would be communicated to the members.

The meeting proceeded with routine consent agenda items, which were moved and seconded without dissent. No public comments on agenda items were recorded, as there were no sign-ups for this segment. Likewise, there were no speakers for non-agenda items. The meeting concluded with a round of thanks to the newly elected board members and the attendees, and the session was adjourned without opposition.
