(KNZA)--A Hiawatha CPA has been hired as the new director of finance and board clerk for USD 415.
Following an executive session Monday evening, the Hiawatha Board Education voted to hire Sarah Windmeyer for the position.
Windmeyer will begin her new job, effective December 18th.
She will fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Leslie Grimm who resigned effective December 1st after 16 years with the district.

Board President Dr. Pete Rosa presented a certificate of recognition to Shamburg, who was selected last month as the Class 3A cross country coach of the year by her peers. Shamburg says the award belongs to the entire team.
