The Board of Education of the Utica City School District voted to accept the May 21, 2024 election results during its special meeting, confirming Braden Nana as the winner of the open board seat currently held by Robert Cardello.
A board member thanked the community for supporting the district and its students, and the chair echoed that appreciation. The chair announced that Braden Nana "will be joining us at the start of the 2024, 2025 school year." The board accepted the election results by voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
The chair also noted that the district budget passed along with capital project resolutions, the capital reserve measure and the library proposition. The transcript records these items as included in the election results the board moved to accept, but it does not specify vote counts or further procedural steps for implementing those measures.
The meeting record shows Robert Cardello listed as excused at roll call. No additional comment or formal contest of the results was recorded during the public portion of the meeting.
