        Rationale: 
 
                                Secretary - State statute and board policy allows for the board to elect a non board member as secretary. Past practice is for the superintendent to serve in this role. Treasurer - Board policy allows for the Board of Education to employee a treasurer. A treasurer so employed will not be considered a member of the board. Past practice is for Cheryl Keeler to serve in this capacity. Recording Secretary - Past practice is for Cheryl Keeler to be appointed to this role.
