The results are in for School Board officers, and without further ado, these are the names.
For School Board President, it’s Bob Geist. For Vice President, it’s Ryan Lewallen. For Clerk, it’s Jeff Boie, while for Treasurer, it’s Denise Hoffstattter. Last but not least for Secretary it’s Sue Kiraly. The unchanged school board officer slate comes on the heals of a post-election reshuffle, with Board Secretary Sue Kiraly briefly opening the April meeting, surrendering the gavel on the nomination and acceptance of Board President Geist, who then oversaw the nominations for School Board Vice President, Clerk, Treasurer, and Secretary.
But while the officer slate remains unchanged, the school board covered many different topics, among them the re-approval of the succeed charter school agreement with other participating schools.
The eSucceed agreement, together with the school districts of Bruce, Cadott Community, Cornell, Gilman, Lake Holcombe, and New Auburn, allows for the joint provision of educational services to students under state statute 66.0301, located in Gilman for purposes of State statute 118.40 (3)(c)(1) and (7)(a), which allows for Gilman to employ the charter school personnel as an “instrumentality” under state law.
Shifting from school board as a local government to the legally distinct Common Council, meanwhile, Ward 3 alderman Jacob Huff was re-elected Monday May 3 to the City of Stanley Presidency, with four votes total or fifty percent of all ballots, beating out Ward 3 alderman Mike Henke who got 2 votes, along with Holly Kitchell and Mark Fitzsimmons, who each got one, or just 12.5 percent of the vote.
Huff took his re-election to the City president’s post in stride, wishing Mayor Haas good health, with the city president legally empowered to act on the City’s behalf only in the absence or incapacity of the Mayor.
