Kitchener, ON:  At the Inaugural Meeting of the Waterloo Region District School Board held this evening, trustees elected Kathleen Woodcock as Chairperson of the Board, and John Hendry as Vice Chairperson.

Trustee Woodcock was first elected to represent Waterloo/Wilmot in 2000, and previously served as Chair in 2010.

“We all face an opportunity now, to renew our community’s faith in the public education system” said Chair Woodcock. “Working together, we can turn that opportunity into reality.”

Trustee Hendry, representing Waterloo/Wilmot, is the board’s longest serving trustee, at 28 years.

A chairperson and vice-chairperson are elected annually at the December Inaugural meeting. Their term begins immediately. By Board by-law, they may serve for a maximum of two consecutive years.
