Kim Peterson, an elementary school nurse for USD 257 for the past 18 years, is the newest Iola City Council member.
Peterson was appointed to fill the Ward 3 position vacated in November by Michael Middleton, who has moved out of Iolas Third Ward.
Peterson will serve the final year of the four-year term originally held by Austin Sigg before his resignation in 2017 precipitated Middletons appointment and will decide by next November whether to run for re-election.
