SCHOOL BOARD

9/30/2022

0 Comments

 
A SPECIAL MEETING of the Governing Board of the Sierra-Plumas Joint Unified School District was held Thursday, September 22nd for the purpose to fill Board Trustee vacancy, District #4. Candidate Kelly Champion who has two small children at Loyalton Elementary and lives in Sierra Brooks, works part-time for Sierra County Children and Families Commission and is the District Clerk for Sierra County Fire Protection District #1, and a self-employed accountant. Champion is interested in becoming a member of board because she sees a need to grow the board and thinks she could be a link between the community, parents and district. She feels she has a lot to offer with experience on public boards and agencies and is very familiar with the role of the board. Champion has the time and could commit long-term and would love to be a part of growing the district. She felt major issues facing the district were rapidly changing social and education climate including technology as well as major funding and staffing issues. Champion stated her experience included professional experience with public agencies, long range planning, having been through several strategic planning processes. She would like to improve fiscal transparency and felt her strength is she is a doer and likes to get things done. Champion works well in group settings and would like to see everyone all work together and improve functionality.
During Public Comment, Champion’s husband, Jason stated he was there to show support and felt she would do very strong work. After closing Public Comment, Board Trustee Dorie Gayner made the motion to fill the vacancy with Kelly Champion. Due to a lack of a second the motion died. Superintendent James Berardi didn’t think the County would have a special election to fill the vacancy, so it would wait until the general election. Champion wanted to table the appointment to the next meeting. Board Trustee Christina Potter said since there was no second to the motion, she understood it would roll to the general election since they had a special meeting on it.
Champion reminded the board they had an obligation to fill the vacancy, adding it is hard to find interested parties that want to be on boards, and she’s been at every meeting for years. She felt it didn’t make sense they wouldn’t fill it. Berardi was going to call the Sierra County Clerk-Recorder after the meeting.
