PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The School Committee will continue with the same leadership.
The committee picked Katherine Yon chairman and Daniel Elias as vice chairman on Wednesday. Both served in those roles during the last two years.
"It is indeed a distinct honor and great pleasure to assume the chair of the Pittsfield School Committee again," Yon said. "I look forward to working together as a team."
The vote was unanimous and School Committee member Anthony Reillo praised the leadership Yon provided over the last two years in the seat.
"That's a great nomination. Madam Chair, you have served us so well for the last two years and I look forward to the next two. You've really been a leader," Reillo said.
Yon nominated Elias to continue to serve as the vice chair.
"Dan, your the man. You are the rock. You have the history and the institutional knowledge. I've learned so much from you," Reillo said.
The School Committee has the same makeup as the last two years after voters elected all incumbents. The committee consists of Pamela Farron, Elias, Yon, Joshua Cutler, Reillo, and Cynthia Taylor.
