The Custer County School Board of Education held a special meeting on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, for the purpose of seating the newly elected board members as well as voting on who would be holding positions, and on what committees each director would serve.
Immediately following the Pledge of Allegiance and Roll Call, President Dr. Terre Davis began the Installation of the new board members: Jordan Benson, Tracy Broll, and Peggi Collins.
The following were elected to each office position: Jake Shy as President, Newell Woodbury will be Vice-President, and Tracy Broll will serve as Secretary/Treasurer.
