Due to the legal requirement that schools reorganize in the first week of December, and a resultant conflict in meeting dates, this reporter arrived late to the Montrose borough meeting on December third, while the council was in executive session. Thus part of this report is based upon information from others present that evening.

The meeting dates for 2012 were set and advertised. They were to remain set according to custom, except for the meeting held September ninth.

With Jason Chamberlain presiding as President Pro-tem for Susquehanna Community School Board, Steven Stanford was unanimously reelected for another term as President at the Board’s annual reorganization meeting. The reorganization meeting preceded the board’s regularly-scheduled December 5 meeting. After Secretary Evelyn Cottrell administered the oath, nomination and reelection of Vice-President Clay Weaver proceeded. Upon Vice-President Weaver’s oath-taking, the board adjourned their reorganization meeting at 7:07 p.m. and opened their regular monthly meeting with President Stanford presiding.

Present for the reorganization and regular meeting, in addition to those previously mentioned, were Treasurer Martha Stanford, Lori Canfield, Amanda Cook, Carol Jackson, and Holly Kubus. When the board moved to new business it unanimously approved two items annually addressed: meeting dates for the next calendar year, and approval of the “Taxpayer Relief Act” resolution.
