Dr. Gary Cohn took an oath of office on Friday, June 5, as part of a special meeting of the Everett School Board.
The oath was administered by board Vice President Ed Petersen, who stepped in for President Sue Cooper who was ill.
Cohn will officially begin his duties on July 1.
As part of the transition to his new position, Cohn has spent several days in the district since he was selected in March. He was in the district on June 5, and taking the oath early “fit into his schedule and the schedules of others between now and July,” noted Petersen.
In addition to the ceremonial aspect of the oath, the board approved several administrative processes making it legally possible for Cohn to fulfill his duties.
Those included authorizing his electronic signature on paychecks and other documents, authorizing him to approve fund investments, accept legal and court documents and sign construction documents.
