The Winthrop School Board opened its meeting by taking nominations for leadership and elected its 2026 chair by acclamation; board members then unanimously approved a vice chair.
During nominations a member said, "I nominate Alicia," and the board seconded and voted without opposition. After the chair nomination was accepted, the new chair invited nominations for vice chair; a member nominated Erica and the chair announced, "Congratulations, Erica. That is unanimous vote." The leadership elections were routine and carried without recorded opposition.
The leadership votes were followed immediately by two motions to enter executive session—first for consultation with legal counsel and then for a labor matter—which the board approved. The meeting record shows the board entered executive session around 6:03 p.m. and later noted a return at about 6:46 p.m.
