District School Board Ontario North East (DSB1) held its annual organizational meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020. The purpose of the organizational meeting is to elect a chair and vice-chair for the board for the following year.

“It is an honour to continue to serve as chair of the board. I want to remind all trustees and community members that I will continue to put students first in my role. We have come through a very unusual year where many lessons can be learned. In the coming year, I will work closely with the vice-chair, Director Dye and her senior team to understand these lessons and outline the next steps to move us forward,” said returning Chair Brush.

“I thank the Board of Trustees for their confidence in me. I look forward to continuing to work with Chair Brush and the entire DSB1 Board of Trustees in the coming year. I would also like to acknowledge the work and focus on building positive relationships by all Trustees and DSB1 staff,” added Vice-Chair Draves.
