Pinellas School Board members elected a new chair and vice chair this morning.

Nancy Bostock will serve her third term as chairwoman for the coming year. Bostock, first elected to the board in 1998 and re-elected in 2002 and 2006, was chair in 2004-05.

Peggy O’Shea, elected in 2006 and the board’s newest member, will serve as vice chair.

Outgoing chairwoman Mary Brown said she was ready to go back to being "a regular board member."

"I worked very hard as chair," Brown said. "I feel I’ve done the best I could. It’s time for someone else to take over."
