WAITSBURG—At a special meeting on Thursday, March 5, the Waitsburg School Board interviewed an applicant for the vacant District 1 seat. The board voted unanimously to appoint Sarah Boudrieau to the School Board.

District 1 covers the north end of Waitsburg, spanning north along Preston Avenue and Hwy 124, stretching from Taggart Road out to where 2nd Street merges into Hwy 124. Applicants for the positions had to reside within the district in order to be considered. The seat was vacated by Jason Kaehler towards the beginning of the school year.

Boudrieau is a mother of three who said she has always been very involved in her children’s education, and is looking forward to being a part of making changes, with the goal of making things better for students, staff, and the district as a whole.

Boudrieau will be officially sworn in at the March 19 regular meeting, at the Preston Hall Middle School. The meeting will immediately follow the public hearing discussing leftover bond money. The hearing will begin at 6 p.m., in the Preston Hall science room.
