The Freetown-Lakeville Regional School Committee on April 1 reorganized its leadership and approved subcommittee appointments, electing Jen Blum as chair and Steve Sylvia as vice chair and confirming a slate of officers and subcommittee members.

The committee moved to take the reorganization ahead of an executive session and voted by roll call to elect Blum chair. Subsequent roll-call votes installed Steve Sylvia as vice chair and confirmed Courtney Brightman to continue as secretary and Crystal Ling to continue as treasurer. Timothy Emery was appointed district clerk. The committee then approved nominations to standing subcommittees and working groups as presented.

Committee members discussed whether to bundle nominations into a single slate for efficiency; the body agreed to handle executive positions individually and subcommittee appointments as bundled motions. After nominations and discussion the committee approved the proposed committee rosters, which included, among others, the collective bargaining, policy, capital, regional finance, and wellness subcommittees.

The reorganization vote and the subcommittee confirmations were taken by roll call. The meeting record shows individual roll-call responses for the chair and officer elections and for the motion to accept the subcommittee rosters. The committee then proceeded to the scheduled executive session.

The reorganization sets committee leadership and committee assignments heading into the new fiscal and contract cycle.

Ending: The new chair said she would begin conducting organizational work immediately and the committee moved on to its other business, including a scheduled executive session on collective bargaining.
