Sharon Wesolowski was elected the Franklin County Community School Corporation Board of Trustees president in the school board’s initial 2021 meeting.
Usually, elections for government entity officers are cut and dried, but that was not the case with the nominations for president. Wesolowski nudged out Rick Gill in a 4-3 vote.
Wesolowski, Terry Bryant, Grant Reeves and Secret Brougher all voted for Wesolowski while Gill, Beth Foster and Justin Moore voted for Gill.
Gill was then elected vice president and Foster was elected secretary. Reeves was elected as the legislative liaison.
For Brougher, Reeves and Moore, the Monday, January 11 meeting was their first after being elected to the board in November 2020.
By unanimous votes, Sharon Pohlman remained the FCCSC treasurer, and Amber Orozco is still the FCCSC attorney.
It was also the first school board meeting with Tammy Chavis as the new FCCCSC superintendent. She replaces Dr. Debbie Howell, who retired from that position in early January.
