A new year means reorganization for the USD 445 Board of Education. At their January meeting, the board nominated and elected a new president and vice president.

Current Board President Darrel Harbaugh was nominated to continue as president by Board Member Karen Rittenhouse and voted on 6-0 by the board. Former Vice President Bob Roesky nominated Board Member Jason Barnett to serve as the vice president and the board voted 6-0 to approve that.

Roesky was chosen to continue to serve as the representative to the Tri-County Special Education Cooperative. Kisha Johnson was absent from the meeting.
