Julie Keegan and Marc Schare were elected president and vice president of the Worthington Board of Education on Monday.

Keegan's election was expected, as she served as vice president in 2009. The vice president historically steps into the president's position.

Schare's election was less predictable, since he was passed over for the position last year. At that time, some members accused him of "having his own agenda" and not being a "consensus builder."
Keegan was unanimously elected on Monday.

The vote on Schare was 4-1, with board member Charlie Wilson voting "no."

Schare is beginning his second term on the board. He and David Bressman and Jennifer Best were re-elected in November. They were sworn in on Monday.

The board also made annual appointments to boards, commissions, and organizations for 2010.

Appointed to the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) as legislative liaison was Wilson; delegate and alternate delegate to the annual assembly meeting of the OSBA, Keegan and Schare; student achievement committee, Best and Wilson; board representative to Metropolitan Educational Council, Keegan; share solutions committee, Wilson and Schare; liaison to city of Worthington, Keegan; OSBA- SALT, Wilson; finance committee, Keegan and Schare; liaison to Worthington Education Association, Wilson; liaison to Worthington Libraries Board, Best; communications committee, Bressman and Schare.
