Two newly elected members of the Volusia County School Board were sworn into office on Tuesday, Nov. 19.
District 2 School Board member Krista Goodrich and District 4 School Board member Donna Brosemers took their oaths of office for their first term on the board. Goodrich, a local businesswoman, succeeds Anita Burnette, who chose not to run for reelection. Brosemer, a former lobbyist, succeeds Carl Persis after winning the November runoff election.
At the organizational meeting, the board also chose its new chair: District 3 School Board member Jessie Thompson. Former Chair Jamie Haynes will serve as vice chair. They will each serve in these roles for one year.
"The service of chair of the School Board — it is a special honor," Volusia County Schools Superintendent Carmen Balgobin said. "And for all of you that have served in that seat, you know it's all the above and beyond functions that you're gifted with and that you assume, but obviously you do it because we're here for a mission, which is to put our students always first."
She recognized Haynes for her two terms as board chair.
"Thank you so much for always, always believing in our children and putting their needs first," Balgobin said. "That's servant leadership."
