Board appoints Ashley Toomey to budget committee seat

The Gresham‑Barlow School District board on April 23 voted to accept a recommendation to appoint Ashley Toomey to position 5 on the district budget committee to fill the remainder of a term.

The chair explained the vacancy resulted from a prior appointment and noted the position must be filled by a member of the district equity committee. Board members Holly and the chair interviewed the candidate and recommended her appointment; the chair described her background as including government and health‑care experience and said she would be a liaison to the equity committee.

A motion to accept the appointment was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. The motion specified the appointment fills the remainder of the predecessor’s term. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the public transcript; the presiding officer called for favor and members responded "Aye."

Next steps: The appointee will serve the remaining term on the budget committee; no additional action was recorded in the work session transcript.
