Jim Lockhart was sworn in as president of the Shoreham-Wading River Central School District Board of Education after board members nominated and voted to elect him for the 2026–27 school year.
The board also swore in newly elected trustees Katie Anderson; Henry Perez; and Aaron Saunders Moreno for terms beginning July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2029. Henry Perez was subsequently elected vice president.
The formal nominations were made from the floor and seconded before board members took voice votes. After Lockhart’s oath the presiding officer yielded the meeting to the newly elected president.
The reorganizational portion of the meeting followed standard district procedure: the board completed the swearing-in of officers, took a number of annual appointments in a single consent block and approved the routine governance motions that organize the board for the coming school year. "I, Jim Lockhart, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of New York and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of president according to the best of my ability," Lockhart recited as part of the oath.
The board took the reorganizational business without substantive debate and repeatedly approved items on voice votes, typically recorded as unanimous (7–0). The reorganizational meeting was then adjourned and the board convened the regular July 10 public meeting.
What happens next: the board will proceed with its regular meeting agenda for July 10 and carry out the committee assignments and appointments made during the reorganizational session.
