EXACTLY two month after holding the election, the Association of Commonwealth Teachers has finally announced the results.
San Vicente Elementary School sixth grade teacher Betty Miller won the presidency, defeating Hopwood Junior High’s Pastor Gagaring and Kagman Elementary School’s Sam Joyner.
Miller will replace Marianas High School’s James Yangetmai, who assumed the presidency in August.
Gagaring, who was allowed to run for president and vice president, won the second top post.
Gagaring defeated Lauralynn Sweet of Kagman Elementary School for the vice presidency.
Elected secretary and treasurer were Carmen Ada of Hopwood Junior High School and Ellen Rayphand of San Vicente Elementary School.
Their opponents were Roger Church of Kagman Elementary and Thomas Ermang of MHS.
“We received the votes of over 60 percent of the total teachers for the three islands and we’re happy that all were well represented in this election,” said Angela Wheat, ACT election committee chairwoman.
Wheat said upon completion of the tabulation process on Thursday, the winning candidates were immediately informed of the results.
Yesterday, ACT officials met with them at San Vicente Elementary School to discuss the formal installation.
The election in February was urged by some ACT members who said they were not represented in the August election.
San Vicente’s Jaime Vergara was elected vice president, Hopwood’s Christine Halloran, secretary; and Cristine Yohanan, treasurer.
The announcement of the Feb. 28 election results was delayed due to concerns about election rules and a lack of cooperation among members.
