WRDSB trustee for Waterloo-Wilmot Marie Snyder resigns due to health concerns
Board will discuss filling the vacant seat at a future meeting
A Waterloo Region District School Board trustee has resigned from her position due to health concerns.
Marie Snyder was elected in October 2022 and represented Waterloo-Wilmot. Snyder submitted a letter requesting to resign from the board on May 1. Trustees at a committee of the whole meeting on Monday accepted Snyder's resignation.
"It has been an honour to represent Waterloo-Wilmot," Snyder said in a release from the board.
"I wish the trustees and staff the best in their continued work to improve the educational experiences for the next generation."
An inability to fully participate due to health concerns was cited as her reason for resigning, the board said. In her time as a trustee, Snyder put forward a motion to encourage continued masking in schools.
"I want to thank Trustee Snyder for her lifelong commitment to education and her service to the WRDSB. I wish her well," chairperson Joanne Weston said in the release.
The board will discuss filling the vacant seat at a future meeting.
