The Erie City School District board on Dec. 3, 2025, held its annual reorganization meeting, swore in newly elected directors and selected board leadership for the year.<\/p>\n
Dr. Brennaman was nominated and, after closed nominations, elected president in a roll-call vote. The board then elected Angie Amatangelo vice president in a separate roll-call election that passed 5\u20134. Board members also took the oath of office after certification from the Erie County Board of Elections that listed the November winners.<\/p>\n
Why it matters: The president and vice president set the board\u2019s meeting agendas and preside over deliberations; leadership choices shape committee assignments and public engagement as the district implements its strategic plan.<\/p>\n
The meeting opened with the chair reading the official meeting notice and a roll call. Newly elected directors Jay Brennaman, Gary Horton, Leah Mirsky and Zachary Sharif were sworn in after the board secretary read the county certification of results.<\/p>\n
After the oaths, nominations proceeded. John Harkins was elected temporary chair to preside over elections. Dr. Brennaman was nominated for president and, following a roll-call vote, was declared president. The roll-call recorded at least one \u201cno\u201d vote from Miss Cooley; the board declared the motion carried and Dr. Brennaman thanked colleagues and described his role as a facilitator to help the board execute its work.<\/p>\n
For vice president, Angie Amatangelo and Zachariah Sharif were nominated. A roll-call tally recorded five votes for Amatangelo and four for Sharif; Amatangelo was declared vice president and thanked members, mentioning strategic-plan committee work.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Dr. Gibbs offered remarks during the meeting and urged residents to participate in multiple upcoming listening sessions that will feed the district\u2019s strategic plan.<\/p>\n
The meeting concluded with brief administrative remarks, student recognition and an adjournment vote. The next regular board meeting is scheduled for Dec. 10, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Erie City School District board on Dec. 3, 2025, held its annual reorganization meeting, swore in newly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59294,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[136,138,137],"class_list":{"0":"post-59293","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-erie","8":"tag-erie","9":"tag-erie-headlines","10":"tag-erie-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
