Robert Jordan was selected as Brevard County School Board chairman Tuesday night in a unanimous vote. Jordan, who now is the veteran board member, was elected to the board in 2002. He served as board chairman in 2007 and as vice chairman from 2003 to 2006. "I loved being the chairman, and I am humbled by this nomination, for sure," Jordan said. Jordan is the District 1 board member, which serves schools in North Brevard.

Board member Barbara Murray was appointed the vice chairwoman in a unanimous vote. Murray was elected to the board in 2006. Murray serves schools in Central Brevard, including Merritt Island and Cocoa.

The board leadership positions last for one year.

Amy Kneessy, who served as the board's vice chairwoman last year, was not nominated for a position, but was sworn into four more years of office Tuesday night.

Tuesday also was the first meeting of two newly elected board members, Karen Henderson and Andy Ziegler.
