The usually routine election of governing board officers president and clerk at the beginning of every calendar year typically goes off with little fanfare. But for the second year in a row, the Peoria Unified election took an interesting turn.
After 30-minutes of public comments and governing board members David Sandoval, Melissa Ewing and Heather Rooks stating their intent be president, Sandoval called a five-minute recess.
After coming back, he motioned for recently appointed governing board member Rebecca Proudfit to be president.
