Bay Village Board of Education Swears In New Board Members; Appoints New Officers

During its January 11, 2022, Organizational Board Meeting, the Bay Village Board of Education swore in newly elected Board members Amy Huntley and Dr. Andrey Stojic, as well as retained Board member Dr. Scott Schulz. The oath was delivered by District Treasurer Meghan Rohde.

Upon completion of the swearing-in ceremony, the Board’s first matter of business was electing officers for the 2022 calendar year. Paul Vincent was voted President and Dr. Scott Schulz as Vice President.

“This year’s Board has such a vast array of skills, talent and experiences to bring to the table,” said President Vincent. “As a Board, we are all motivated to continue pursuing student-focused academic excellence for our learning community.”

Also on the Board agenda was recognition of our Board members since January is School Board Recognition Month. Bay High School Seniors Milan Oppewall and Angelica Jameson read a Proclamation issued by Gov. Mike DeWine in honor of Ohio’s School Board Members. Each of the two students also shared what she appreciates about Bay Village Schools, and personally thanked the Board for its service.

“One Rocket Nation is not only a community, but one big family,” said Angelica.

“Growing up with love and support trains us to give back,” said Milan. “So many kids have benefited from the work you do.”
