Board members say they have no intention to elect a new president when the position is currently held by long-time board member Melvin “Bud” Niekamp. The president holds office for a two-year term. The agenda was designed to cover all contingencies, according to School Suprintendent Lonny Lemon.Bemis decided Thursday night that he wanted to relinquish his position as president, a position he has held for less than two months. However, he wants to maintain his seat on the School Board, and he threw his support behind Dickerson, who was the president of the board from April 14, 2005 until April 30, 2009. Bill Daniels and Curtis Lovelace also voted for Dickerson to remain president at the April meeting. Niekamp, who was elected vice president on the same night when Bemis was elected president, says he deserves the president's post and does not intend to not step down. http://qui.live.mediaspanonline.com/new_story/Special-session-set-for-Thursday-063009
