Maple Run Unified School District ESP negotiations committee names Jack McCarthy chair

The Maple Run Unified School District ESP Negotiations Committee voted on Nov. 4 to name Jack McCarthy chair of the committee.

The committee met at 7:07 p.m., and after discussing leadership, a motion to appoint Jack McCarthy was made and seconded; members present approved the appointment by voice vote. The committee’s outgoing chair called for the vote, saying, “All those in favor of Jack McCarthy being chair, say aye.” Members answered “aye,” and the chair confirmed the appointment.

The nomination and approval occurred during a brief, largely procedural meeting that also included central office staff. Committee members who were identified in the meeting record included Joanna Jerome and Carly Gunderson; both were referenced during the motion/second exchange. The committee moved quickly from the appointment into a motion to hold an executive session later in the meeting.

The committee did not elaborate in the public record on a work plan tied to the chair appointment. The public portion of the meeting concluded when members voted to enter an executive session and paused the public recording.
