Conseil scolaire du Nord-Ouest schools will soon be getting in closer connection with the board.
At its regular meeting Sept. 19, the CSNO board approved a new format for the 2024-25 school year to visit the school councils, says a CSNO news release of board highlights.
The format is designed to optimize the board’s relationship with school councils to get a pulse on the school communities.
Instead of holding a regular meeting at the school and receiving the school council president’s report, the school board will visit each school – Ecole Heritage in Falher, Ecole des Quartre-Vents in Peace River and Ecole Nouvelle Frontiere in Grande Prairie, on a scheduled date.
Each visit will be followed by meeting with school administration and school council members.
The new format eliminates the practice of school trustees attending school council meetings as observers throughout the school year.
As well, the school board will continue to hold the annual school council meeting in January.
