The McKeesport Area School District board opened its reorganization session with swearing-in and roll call, then conducted nominations for board leadership and brief votes.
During nominations for president a sitting board member withdrew and publicly outlined three priorities for the next two years — school safety and security, curriculum, and infrastructure improvements — and endorsed Dave Seropian. The board then closed nominations and held a voice vote; the transcript records the winner as 'Mister Stroking' (name as spoken in the meeting transcript) being declared president.
The new president thanked colleagues, singled out newly elected members Arla Payne and Kevin Kovach, and called for nominations for vice president. Two candidates were nominated for vice president, including Jason Pavlicic and Arla Payne; the board used a roll-call vote by name and selected Jason Pavlicic. After his selection Pavlicic said, "I just wanna thank everybody and the board's confidence in me," and expressed eagerness to work with his colleagues.
Separately, the board authorized the use of Robert's Rules of Order in procedural matters together with applicable sections of the district policy manual; that motion passed by voice vote. The meeting also included a brief recess for family photos before the board proceeded to the business portions of the agenda.
The reorganization portion of the meeting involved routine nominations and officer elections and did not include formal action altering district governance or policies beyond officer selection and the adoption of procedural rules. The transcript does not provide a clear, standard spelling for the person who presided as president after the vote; the spelling in the transcript is presented verbatim in this report.
