Each addressed the board prior to the selection, telling alittle about themselves and why they would like to serve on the board.

Schuetz is a lifelong resident of Hiawatha and graduated from Hiawatha High School.

Board President Dave Thompson commended both candidates, saying he didn’t think the board could go wrong with either.
