The local Catholic School Board has replaced a trustee who stepped down last month following some controversial tweets.

The Waterloo Catholic District School Board will fill the seat, for the rest of the term, by appointing Julie Molenaar.

She placed fifth in the election for Kitchener/Wilmot trustee back on October 24, 2022.

Eight candidates were on the ballot for that election.

The recently vacated seat by Wendy Ashby is one of the four allotted for that riding.

Molenaar will be sworn in at an upcoming board meeting.
