Fort Atkinson board elects officers in reorganizational meeting; Corey Nickram named president

The Fort Atkinson School District Board unanimously approved a slate of district officers during its April reorganizational meeting, keeping Corey Nickram as president.

Board members considered nominations and accepted a slate proposed by one member. The motion to close nominations and cast a unanimous ballot passed, and the board chair announced the elected officers: Corey Nickram, president; Amy Amato, vice president; Robin Celi, treasurer; Kurt Lewis, clerk; and Matt Luke, at-large member. The board then returned to normal operating rules with the president presiding.

The election process included a prior procedural discussion about whether contested positions should be decided by secret ballot or public vote; the board agreed to conduct the vote publicly. The chair also explained a possible automatic elimination rule for multi-round voting if three or more nominees were present.

No formal vote tallies beyond the unanimous ballot were recorded in the transcript. The board did not take any other officer elections at this meeting.

The board will continue to operate under the newly elected leadership for the coming term.
