(KNZA)--Longtime Hiawatha School Board member Dr. Pete Rosa is stepping down from the board.
Rosa announced his resignation at Monday's Board meeting, which is effective at the end of the May 11 meeting.
He holds position five on the Board.
Reading from his letter of resignation, Rosa said the decision comes as he and wife, Julie, begin the process of transitioning into a new chapter in their lives.
He said when they moved to Hiawatha twenty-two years ago, it was the strength of the schools that drew them.
The opening will be advertised after it becomes effective in May. Superintendent Lonnie Moser said the Board would then interview the applicants for the position and appointment someone to fill Rosa's unexpired term at their June 8 meeting.
The individual selected would fill a term expiring in January 2022. The position is up for election in November 2021.
