During the July 3 Hicksville Board of Education meeting, the Hicksville School District trustees and administration reorganized for the official start of the 2012-13 school year.
Newly elected trustees Brenda Judson and Phil Heckler took the oath of office, which was administered by school district attorney Gary Steffanetta of Guercio & Guercio LLP. The swearing in of all trustees followed this.
By a unanimous vote, trustee Susan Powell was elected to the seat of board president and Dolores Garger was elected as vice president. Kevin J. Carroll will now serve as board secretary and newly elected trustee Phil Heckler will serve as deputy district treasurer.

I look forward to working with the new board as we face new challenges and provide creative solutions to ensure the success of our students and the future stability of our community.”
