IRONWOOD - Four members of the Ironwood Area Schools Board of Education took their oath of office during an organizational meeting Monday at Luther L. Wright School after being re-elected during the November election.
Brenda Agee, Marilyn Nezworski, Pamela Niemi and Ed Rickard were re-elected to the board, joining members Steve Thomas, John Lorenson and Leroy Johnson.
After the oath of office, the election officers took place, with Thomas elected unanimously as board president. Rickard was elected president pro-tem, Nezworski treasurer and superintendent secretary Carolyn Mieloszyk was elected as board secretary.
The board chose Gogebic Range Bank as the depository for school funds and the law firm selected was Dean and Pope and Thrun Law Firm, of Ironwood. Joki, Makela and Pollack was selected as the district's auditors.
Committees will have the same members as the previous year, with the addition of a new committee. The new committee will focus solely on teacher and exit surveys.
In previous meetings, Nezworski, Agee and Niemi all volunteered for the committee.
"You make it a lot easier when you volunteer," Thomas said.
