Tucson Unified School Districtβs two newest governing board members, Jennifer Eckstrom and Val Romero, were sworn in during the boardβs Tuesday meeting.
They join members Natalie Luna Rose, Ravi Shah and Sadie Shaw.
Shah, a member since 2020, was unanimously elected by the board to serve as president.
βIβm really proud to have the opportunity to serve as your board president this year. I want to thank all of you for entrusting in me this yearβs leadership and I look forward to working with all of you to really work to continue improving our district,β Shah said.
Romero was elected as board clerk on a 4-1 vote. Eckstrom, who had nominated Luna Rose as clerk, dissented.
Luna Rose served as clerk during 2022. She withdrew her nomination after Shaw nominated Romero to give a new member the opportunity in the position.
