\nEAST MARLBOROUGH \u2014 The Unionville-Chadds Ford Board of Education swore in five newly-elected members and elected a new board president \u2014 Victor Dupuis \u2014 during its reorganization meeting, Monday night.<\/p>\n

Returnees Keith Knauss and Jeff Hellrung, were joined by newly-elected Carolyn Daniels, Steven Simonson and Michael Rock in taking the oath of office. Dupuis, who served as vice president of the board for the last year, was quickly elected as new president. Eileen Bushelow, who served as president the last two years, announced that she would not seek another term last month.<\/p>\n

The only drama \u2014 such as it was \u2014 was in the election of a new board Vice President. Gregg Lindner was nominated by Bushelow, while Hellrung was nominated by Knauss.<\/p>\n

Lindner won six votes: Bushelow, Do, Dupuis, Lindner, Rock and Simonson. Hellrung was supported by himself, Knauss and Daniels.<\/p>\n

Hellrung was elected to serve as the district\u2019s representative to the Chester County School Authority through January \u00a02017.<\/p>\n

The board also voted to designate The Daily Local News<\/em> \u2014 the lone local print media outlet that did not cover Monday night\u2019s meeting \u2014 as its official legal advertisement publisher. Board members expressed hope that the state legislature would allow for the publishing of such notices with digital publishers \u2014 or on the district\u2019s own Web site in coming years.<\/p>\n

Beyond the hiring of a special education teacher for Patton Middle School, the board took no other action and \u2014 after posing for a new group picture \u2014 adjourned the public session to conduct an executive session on personnel matters.<\/p>\n

The new board will take up its serious work in January, with a work session Jan. 14, and a regular board meeting on Jan. 21 at Patton Middle School.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
