Newly Elected PUSD Board Members Sworn In

Four newly elected members of the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD) Board of Education were sworn in at its annual organizational meeting Monday, May 6.

Tyron Hampton, who was elected by voters to represent the board of education’s new sub geographic District 3, was sworn in to serve his first term. Board members Scott Phelps, Kimberly Kenne and Elizabeth Pomeroy were also elected by geographic district in 2013 and sworn in Monday.

Kenne, who won the election for the new geographic District 5 in March, vacated the at-large Board of Education Seat 4. The board is currently accepting applications to fill the vacant seat; the new member will be selected as early as June 4 and serve until May 4, 2015.

The board was unable to achieve a majority in electing a president. Hampton was elected to serve as board vice president. Kenne was re-elected to serve as the clerk of the board.
