The North Pocono School Board (NPSB) held its annual reorganization meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 7. All board members were in attendance.
There was a motion made by Ralph Colo to appoint Paul Kowalski as the new Board President. That motion was seconded by Gerard Maglio and passed by a 6-2 vote, with the dissenters being Diane Croom and Angela Cobb.
The board then proceeded to adopt the meetings and work sessions of the school board for 2012. They also adopted “Roberts Rules of Order” as their parliamentary procedure and re-affirmed The Board Governance Standards and Code of Conduct in which the board operates under.
