The Horizon School Division Board held their annual organizational meeting on Wednesday. The board held nominations for the officer positions.

Jim Hack will remain as Chairperson, while a new Vice-Chairperson was elected.

Linda Mattock has served as trustee for Subdivision 2 since 2016. She is looking forward to her new role.

"I am honoured to serve as the Vice-Chair of Horizon's Board of Education and I thank my fellow trustees for their nomination and votes," she said. "I bring a passion for education to this role, and I look forward to the opportunity to further serve our students and staff."

Mattock takes over Vice-Chairperson from Wil Lengyel, who was in the position from 2011 to 2014 and 2015 to 2018.

Hack has been in the head Chairperson since 2011.

"I want to thank my fellow trustees for the nomination and for their confidence to have me continue as Board Chair for another year," he said. "I also want to thank Wil Lengyel for his work as Vice-Chair these past several years. I am proud of the work we have done, and the work we will continue to do as a Board, serving the students, staff and communities of Horizon School Division."
