At its organizational meeting for the 2008-2009 school year, the Falls Church City School Board elected Ron Peppe to serve as chairman and Susan Kearney to serve as vice chairman. The change in leadership came last night, on the same day the new board took office.
Peppe has served as a Falls Church City School Board Vice Chairman for the past year, and served as a board member the previous year. He also has prior school board experience having served for several years on the Frederick County (Maryland) School Board, part of which time he served as president. He succeeds Chairman Craig Cheney who did not run for re-election.
Kearney became a school board member in July 2006. She has served on the board’s Professional Employees Advisory Committee, the Career and Technical Education subcommittee of the BIE Partnership Council and the Gifted and Talented Advisory Committee. She has also served as the vice chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee for Aurora House, as Chairman of the Falls Church City Women's Commission and as a volunteer with ChildHelp.
In addition to electing a chairman and vice chairman, the board also set its calendar for the coming school year. The Falls Church City School Board will continue to hold its regular meetings on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Chambers at City Hall. The board also agreed to explore the possibility of restructuring meetings to more fully study issues and objectives to support the board’s strategic plan.
Last night’s meeting was the first for the board’s newest member, Charlotte Hyland. Veteran board members Kieran Sharpe and Joan Wodiska were also present to begin their new terms in office.
