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.
President Shy accepted the gavel from outgoing president Davis and took control of the meeting. Superintendent Mike McFalls offered to explain the various Standing Committees and what each would entail.

Theresa Kennedy, Business Manager for CCSD presented a request to the board for an approval for the Tax/Mill Levy Certification.
