GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The Green Bay school board has selected a new member to fill an open seat.
Laura Laitinen-Warren will serve in the seat vacated by Kristina Shelton. Shelton announced her resignation in January. She was elected to the state Assembly last November.
“On behalf of the Board of Education I want to thank all the candidates that applied for the open seat. I am excited to announce Laura’s appointment to the Board,” board president Eric Vanden Heuvel said in a statement. “Her previous experience and commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion will provide a great addition to the board as we work through the immediate crisis of COVID-19 and as we move forward to deeper conversations and efforts regarding equity for all students.”
Laitinen-Warren has two children who attend Green Bay public schools. She has served on the district’s Title VI American Indian Education Parent Advisory Committee; the King Elementary Parent Teacher Organization, Adults Supporting King; and the Superintendent Parent Advisory Committee.
Laitinen-Warren’s term ends in April 2022.
