Hockinson – Scott Swindell was appointed as the newest member of the Hockinson School Board of Directors last month. He has lived in the district more than 20 years, and his wife, Lisa Swindell, was principal of Hockinson Heights Elementary School before taking a job with Washington State University Vancouver last year.
Scott Swindell is an attorney, and serves on the Planned Giving Committee of the PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center Foundation.
He was unanimously appointed by the board to the District No. 5 position, taking over for Katherine Davis, who resigned her position after moving out of the district. Swindell will hold the position until the seat is up for election in November. So far, Swindell has filed to run for the seat, along with Gordon Smith and Lorin Erickson.
