<div>SWARTZ CREEK – In a surprising turn of events, the Swartz Creek Board of Education has voted to appoint Josh Davis to a vacancy created by the resignation of board Trustee Autumn Henry.Henry resigned during board comments at the end of the Wednesday, Nov. 4, board meeting.Davis, who is Henry’s boyfriend, had sought election to one of three available partial terms in the Tuesday, Nov. 3, election.With 3,431 votes, Davis came up short in the final tally, losing to Cheryl Stacey (5,647 votes), Jessica Lanave (5,063 votes) and Matthew Sortor (4,889 votes).School board Vice President Jenni Wolgast, who was appointed to the board and had also sought election to complete the term but finished last with 3,006 votes, introduced the motion to appoint Davis. Board Trustee Lorraine Ahearne, another appointee, seconded the motion.Secretary Andrea Fick, who was elected to the board but did not seek re-election, called the maneuver “super shady” and a “sneaky little way to get someone on” the board.“It feels a little planned out,” Fick added, voicing concern that the decision could be in violation of the Open Meetings Act. “This is going to get us in trouble.”Wolgast said she moved to appoint Davis because he was the next highest vote-getter in the election.“We have this direction from the public,” she said.But Fick had a different take on the election results, saying, “So we’re going to take someone the public did not vote.”Fick cast the lone “no” vote and board President Chuck Melki, who lost his bid for re-election, abstained citing pending litigation against the district.Ahearne, Wolgast, Treasurer Ken Engel, who also was appointed to the board, and Trustee Kim Winter voted in favor of Davis’ appointment.</div>
