Woodbury school board swears in members, elects 2025 officers
The Woodbury school board held its annual organizational meeting on January 14, formally swearing in new and returning members and unanimously electing its leadership team for 2025. The meeting marked the start of the board's new term with Katie Swer joining as a new member.
The meeting began with a swearing-in ceremony for board members, during which they were reminded of their significant responsibilities. "As you recite the oath of office you assume a tremendous responsibility as a director of our school district," one speaker said, noting that board members are "morally and legally responsible for equitable quality education of every student in the district."
New board member Katie Swer was introduced along with her family and received a warm welcome. When given the opportunity to speak, Swer explained her motivation for joining the board: "Quenton is the reason that I ran," she said, offering a personal glimpse into why she decided to pursue public service.
The board then proceeded to elect its four officers for 2025, all unanimously. Ke Yang was elected chairperson, Caleb Anderson as vice chairperson, Nancy Livingston as clerk, and Julia Martins as treasurer. Board chair Yang noted that these selections had been informally agreed upon during work sessions held in October, November, and December, which is why the elections proceeded without competing nominations.
Finally, the board unanimously adopted 19 routine organizational resolutions for 2025 that govern the district's operations for the year. Board members had the opportunity to request discussion on any specific resolution but chose not to, indicating the resolutions were standard administrative matters. The meeting concluded with all business conducted without dissent, reflecting a unified board ready to begin its new term.
