Goshen board casts votes for two Orange'Ulster BOCES vacancies, names Michael Bell

The Goshen Central School District Board of Education cast votes April 18 to fill two existing vacancies on the Orange'Ulster Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES).

During a brief election item the board recorded a vote for Michael Bell to fill one vacancy and for a candidate transcribed in the meeting record as "eug S" to fill a second vacancy. The transcript does not provide party, term length, or additional biographical details for the named individuals.

The meeting record does not include a roll-call listing of how individual board members voted or indicate whether the selections were by plurality, unanimous consent, or other method; only the board's result was announced. Following the votes the board moved to close the special meeting.

The Orange'Ulster BOCES board represents cooperating school districts in the region; the selections will be processed through the regional BOCES procedures, which the district clerk was authorized to support earlier in the meeting when certifying the budget vote.
