WSD BOARD MEETING REPORT
April 24, 2026
Our new Board of Education members were sworn in today, April 21, in a Special Board Meeting. Shaun Johnson, Bertha Schultz, and Kirby Wilson took their oath, and each will serve a three-year term.
In accordance with state statute, the WSD did not hold an election this year because the number of candidates who filed matches the number of positions available. The Board also elected officers at the meeting. Julie Scott was elected president, Brad Welsh was elected vice president, and David Biesenthal was elected secretary.
