Um before I surrender the middle chair, I just want to take a moment to uh thank my colleagues as well as Dr. Ryan and Mrs. Mlan for all their support the last couple years. I have enjoyed almost all of it. Um I think we have had for several years a very strong board admin administration team here and
004I was happy to do my part to continue that. Um, that said, we do kind of have an unwritten rule that you serve two years as president and then you move on. I think there are some really good reasons for that and in accordance with that, we do have a new president. Mrs. Crane has been a invaluable member of the leadership team this past year. She's doing an excellent job as vice president. Uh she has been on the board for over six years as very active in both the state and county schoolboard organizations and I have zero doubt she is going to do an outstanding job as president. Thank you. So with that we are going to switch seats and Mrs. Mc Crane will continue the meeting to switch the name tags. No, you don't
005have to. although you're much taller than me. Uh thank you very much to my colleagues for your confidence in me. I'll do my best. I know I have very big issues to fill. Uh on that note, I would like to take a quick moment to recognize and thank Mr. Ne for his dedication to the Clarkston Board of Education. Uh even before Mr. Ne was an officer, he was a constant source of support and information for me as I navigated my early days on the board. Mr. Mr. Need has spent the majority of his years on the board serving as an officer with the last two years having been our president. His leadership has always been steady, thoughtful, and grounded. I think the success and well-being of every student, teacher, administrator, and board colleague has always
006been at the forefront of his decision-making. I'm confident that I speak for the entire board when I thank you wholeheartedly for your service, Mr. Ne. as I follow in your footsteps, I am very grateful that you are still close enough to let me know when I make a mistake or when I can do better. So, thank you very much, Mr. Nate. Thank you, Mrs. Grant. I appreciate that. Yes. Moving on with the meeting. Item 1.6.2 is the election of the office of vice president. May I have any nominations?
