New School Board Member

The District 518 Board of Education named Matt Widboom as their selection in the appointment process to fill the vacancy from Brad Shaffer’s resignation on the board. Matt will serve the next 10 months, with the remaining year of Shaffer’s term of 1 full year to be voted on during the general election in November. In the application process, five area well-qualified candidates were willing to serve. All candidates were interviewed and the selection committee recommended Matt as their nominee. We appreciate the willingness to serve our community and school district as a school board member by all candidates that applied, and wish Matt the best of luck as he fills the seat for the upcoming months
