One of the two new trustees representing Okotoks has been elected Chairman of the Foothills School Board.

Former principal Larry Albrecht was handed the role after he and the rest of the newly elected board held a vote Wednesday morning during the Organizational Meeting.

Albrecht says it'll take awhile to see just how everything runs before he and the other trustees will start to put their own stamp on the division.

He just wants to get his feet wet in the very fast moving school division.

Albrecht says with returning trustee Jeanine Tucker, and the other four newcomers, Therese Latendre, Sharon Nicol, Jennifer Kristianson and Bill Young, he feels it's good group that will work together well.
