School Board appoints Carol Ladwig to board
December 16, 2013
At a special meeting Dec. 16, the School Board voted to appoint former member Carol Ladwig to the board for the remainder of an unexpired term that ends the first Monday in January 2015.
Ladwig served on the board for 17 years, from 1992-2009. In 2009, she was named to the All State School Board, which is the Minnesota School Boards Association’s most prestigious award. Ladwig has remained involved with the school district by serving as a community representative to the district’s Instruction and Curriculum Advisory Committee. She also was a member of the core planning team for the district’s 2013 community engagement initiative.
The appointment of the new School Board member comes after the resignation of Trudy Wilmer on Nov. 25.
Wilmer, who has taken a position with Eide Bailly, was unable to continue to serve on the School Board because of professional standards that require accounting firms to be independent of the firm’s audit clients and free of conflict of interest. Eide Bailly serves as the district’s auditor.
Wilmer, who served a two-year term on the board from 2011 to 2013, was appointed to the board on Sept. 23 after the resignation of Kristine Thompson, who stepped down from the board on Sept. 9 to take a position as service learning coordinator for the district. State law does not permit School Board members to make more than $8,000 a year from the school district in which they serve.
