The Work Happens in Committees

Most of the work of a Trustee is done in a committee. Until I had the list of committees in front of me, I didn’t realize just how many there really were. During my first term, I had the opportunity to be on several committees. The very first round of committees were selected by the supervisor at the time. In the subsequent years, the committees that did not require a vote, the Chair selected the committees. All meeting materials are received a minimum of five days prior to the meeting and Trustees are expected to have read the material. One of the reasons why I liked being able to watch the live stream because it helped to give me context for wha is happening. It means I ask less questions because I get context. #publiceducation #schoolboardtrustee #trustee #mentorship #ontarioparents #educationforall #publiceducation #familyengagement
