“It has been an honour to represent Waterloo/Wilmot,” Snyder said in a release.

“I wish the Trustees and staff the best in their continued work to improve the educational experiences for the next generation.”

She was first elected to the office in October 2022 by Waterloo/Wilmot voters, but said health issues would not allow her to participate fully as the role required.

The board says it will discuss filling the vacancy at future meetings.

It will have to fill two roles as the board announced Wednesday that Woolwich-Wellesley Trustee Fred Meissner had died.
