Louise Hinz appointed to South Washington County School board
Former South Washington County School District board member Louise Hinz is coming back to the board.
The school board last month voted unanimously to appoint Hinz, of Afton, to fill the position vacated by former school board member Pat Driscoll. Driscoll resigned after moving out of the district.
Board members agreed to follow previous procedure and appoint an experienced school board member who had served within the past four years, said Shawn Hogendorf, director of communications and community relations for South Washington County Schools.
Hinz, a longtime teacher in the district, was previously elected to the board in November 2019 and served one term.
Hinz started teaching elementary school in the South Washington County School District in 1996 and later taught math at Woodbury Middle School from 2009 until her retirement in 2018.
Hinz will be sworn in March 27 and will serve until the next general election in November, Hogendorf said.
