At its October 4 meeting, the D63 Board of Education appointed Katie Anderson to fill the seat left vacant by former Board member Angelo Scarsella. The appointment runs through April 2019, when the seat will be filled through local elections. Anderson has three children – one who attends Melzer School. An active volunteer at her church and a past American Youth Soccer Organization Board member, she holds bachelor’s degrees in English and marriage, family, and human development from Brigham Young University.

“I’m truly honored and excited to serve on the D63 Board,” Anderson notes. “I've been impressed with the enriched educational experience our schools offer - and the way they celebrate inclusiveness, family and community participation, and diversity.  I look forward to supporting the District's focus on student success - and on the growth and development of every child's mind and future.”
