Denise Romero was elected president of the Board of Education of the Enlarged City School District of Middletown at the board’s July 2 reorganization meeting, and Rose Tobiason was elected vice president.
The board opened nominations for president; Romero and Andrew Moore were nominated. A roll-call vote recorded six votes in favor, one no and one abstention, and the motion to appoint Romero passed. Romero was sworn into office at the meeting.
The vice-presidency was then filled; Tobiason was nominated and confirmed by an 8–0 vote and took the oath of office.
Board members offered short remarks on the leadership transition. Trustee Andrew Moore, who had also been nominated for president, described the qualities he values in board leaders, saying he aims to “be a person who stood in the middle, who can hear every side.” The board and superintendent congratulated the newly installed officers and moved to the regular agenda.
The appointments complete the board’s reorganization process for the 2026–2027 term. The board also noted that one elected member, Freddie Williams, was not present at the reorganization portion and will be sworn in at a later date.
