Mount Horeb Area School District board elects officers, confirms legal counsel and committee rosters

The Mount Horeb Area School District board, meeting for its annual reorganization, elected new officers, confirmed district counsel and assigned members to standing committees before adjourning.

Jessica was elected president after a nomination and an acceptance in the meeting; Jessica said, "I accept the nomination," and the board approved the nomination by voice vote. Adam was nominated and accepted the vice president role; the board approved Adam by voice vote. Leah was nominated and approved to continue as clerk, and Joel was nominated and approved as treasurer. The transcript records voice votes for each election but does not provide roll-call tallies.

The board voted to continue its regular meetings on Mondays at 7:00 p.m. in the Middle School meeting room, holding meetings twice per month as noted in the motion. The board also moved to name Weld Riley S.C. (spoken in the transcript as "weld Riley SC") as the district's legal counsel and to retain Wasby Consultants for other matters; both motions passed by voice vote. The meeting record shows a motion to name the district's official newspaper as "the M mail" (transcript wording), and that motion carried.

Delegations and external-representation appointments included naming Sarah as the 2025 Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB) delegate with Leah as alternate, and appointing Carly as the district representative to the CISA annual convention (noted in the meeting as occurring June 18 in Whitewater). Standing committee assignments were approved: Building & Grounds (Joel, Adam, Tom); Community & Legislative Engagement (Carly, Leah, Sarah); Education (Tom, Adam, Joel); Finance (Joel, Adam, Carly); Personnel (Leah, Sarah, Joel); and Safety (Leah, Sarah, Carly). Board members accepted or confirmed willingness to serve on each listed committee.

Throughout the meeting, motions and seconds were made and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motions and approvals but generally does not record individual vote tallies. Members discussed committee workloads and noted that nonmembers may attend committee meetings but cannot vote. The meeting closed after a motion to adjourn was approved.

The transcript does not provide surnames for several participants, does not include exact vote counts for voice votes, and does not state a calendar date for the meeting in the record. The board noted the WASB and CISA events and provided assignments and delegations tied to those events; next procedural steps were primarily the standing committee work and usual board business scheduled for upcoming meetings.
