David Colburn
REGIONAL- ISD 2142 School Board Chairman Dan Manick will continue in that role for another year after he was the only one nominated for the position at the board’s organizational meeting on Jan. 5.
The board welcomed two new members, Bob Larson and Lynne Hilde. Bob Larson was selected to be vice-chair.
Board member Pat Christensen continues as the designated clerk, and member Chris Koivisto was named treasurer. Their overall responsibilities were later assigned by a board resolution to administrative assistant Jeanne Sopp and business manager Kim Johnson, respectively.
Rob Martineau
On Dec. 1, affiliated unions elected AFSCME Local 189 president Rob Martineau as DCTU president; IBEW Local 48 business representative Jenna Bazner as vice president; and Machinists District Lodge W24 organizer Will Lukens as secretary-treasurer. DCTU also named as trustees Painters District Council 5 member Jack Johnson; Operating Engineers Local 701 member Chris Montgomery; and UA Local 290 member Nichet Newsome.
Martineau, Bazner and Lukens say they want to chart a new course for DCTU, breaking down walls and building solidarity across unions and bureaus. They also want to make DCTU processes more transparent and open the coalition up to direct involvement by rank-and-file members of affiliated unions.
