"It's a privilege to continue to serve as Chair of St. Paul Education and I want to thank my fellow trustees for their support," said Starosielski. "I look forward to making decisions that are student-driven and working with all of the new trustees. Even with the uncertainty of the pandemic, our goals remain the same: improving student achievement and strengthening relationships.”
Trustees were also assigned to a variety of committees during the Oct. 27 organizational meeting.
Regular school board meetings are scheduled for the second Wednesday of each month. As a result of provincial Covid-19 health measures, meetings will be conducted in a hybrid format of Zoom and in-person, according to information from St. Paul Education.
