With Alyson Kiesel’s re-election in May, all five of the school district’s board members remain in office for the coming year.  But their meeting day has changed from Tuesdays to Wednesdays.  Their first Wednesday meeting was last week, when Vicky Tipp was made President of the board, former President Alyson Kiesel became Vice-President, Andrew Selesnick took his place at the board’s dais as Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources, and all were administered the oath of office by District Clerk Theresa Markley.
