The board's clerk and treasurer are also different.
Monday's special Whitnall School Board workshop marks just the second time its new officers are in place in their new roles. Bernard Shaw was voted in as the board’s president April 29, beating Elieen Valaitis, 5-2, in a secret ballot. Shaw replaced Nancy Zaborowski, who declined Shaw’s nomination to return to that role. Shaw has been on the board since 2008 and was most recently its vice president. Valaitis, who has been on the board since last April, won a 4-3 vote over Zaborowski to serve as vice president. T.J. Anderson was the unanimous choice for treasurer and Stephanie Richter, who was reelected to the board in April, was the unanimous choice for clerk.

Quin Brunette and Eileen Valaitis took their sets on the Whitnall School Board following their wins in the April 3 election.
The Whitnall School Board welcomed its two new members Monday, almost three weeks after Quin Brunette and Eileen Valaitis won their seats in the April 3 election.

The Whitnall School Board results were not announced until early Wednesday morning, but Eileen Valaitis and Quin Brunette were happy to see their names at the top.
It was a late night, but for Eileen Valaitis, it proved to be worth the wait. Making her first run for the Whitnall School Board, the Hales Corners resident unofficially won Tuesday’s election. But Valaitis almost went to bed Tuesday not knowing the outcome. After the Village of Hales Corners reported its results shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday, Valaitis and the other contenders waited until nearly 11:30 p.m. for Greenfield’s. Franklin's results didn't come in until just before 1 a.m. Wednesday. “It was a late, late night,” Valaitis said. “I was just about to give up, but I checked one more time and saw the final results.” Valaitis unofficially won with 1,568 votes. Also claiming a seat was Greenfield’s Quin Brunette with 1,515. Franklin’s …

The candidates discussed myriad topics days in advance of the April 3 election, including the 2012-13 calendar concerns and the district's communications.
Communication between the Whitnall School District and district parents and citizens must improve before the relationship between them deteriorates beyond repair. That was the message four candidates vying for two Whitnall School Board seats shared Wednesday at a candidate forum days ahead of the April 3 spring election. Incumbent Mike Clarizio and challengers Quin Brunette, Jon D. Jones and Eileen Marie Valaitis answered questions for more than 90 minutes in the district’s community room in front of about two dozen people. It was one of their last chances to sway voters’ decisions. All four candidates expressed concerns about messages reaching parents and citizens, and pointed at the district’s 2012-13 calendar issue as a prime example of…
