Board of Trustees Election 2014

 

This October 22, 2014 there will be School Trustee elections held in conjunction with local municipal elections. The School District of Whiteshell encourages interested candidates to submit Nomination Papers from September 10-16, for one of the 5 positions available this year.

 

The Manitoba School Boards Association (MSBA) outlines the role of a School Trustee in their publication "Public Schools Matter to Everyone" as follows:

 

          * School boards set goals for student achievement, and evaluate progress towards those goals.

          * School boards adopt budgets that reflect community priorities for kids and schools.

          * School boards determine which optional courses and programs are offered.

          * School boards hire the administrators who manage operations and provide educational leadership.

          * School boards advocate for kids, schools and communities.

We appreciate your participation in the election process, as both voters and candidates and welcome any further questions you may have.  Please do not hesitate to call the School District Office at 204.753.8366.
