Grand Erie Accepting Applications to Fill Vacant Trustee Position

Grand Erie District School Board is now accepting applications to fill a vacant Trustee position representing Brant County and Norfolk County (Wards 3 and 7). The appointment will last for the remainder of the current electoral term (November 2022).

“Trustees are a crucial link between the communities they serve and the school board,” said Greg Anderson, Chair of the Board. “The ideal candidate will be an advocate for children and youth as Trustees ensure that schools are meeting the diverse needs of students. They must also be connected to the needs of families in Grand Erie and believe in the value of public education.”

Candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a Canadian citizen, be a resident within the geographic jurisdiction of the Grand Erie District School Board, and a voter for Grand Erie. Those interested must complete an application form. Candidates must submit a resume, cover letter and statement of intent with their application form.

The deadline for applications is 12 noon on Tuesday, November 10, 2020.

Grand Erie District School Board represents more than 18,000 students in 58 elementary schools and 7,700 students in 14 secondary schools within the City of Brantford and the Counties of Brant, Haldimand, and Norfolk as well as secondary students from Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

We are an Eco-School

Did you know our school is an eco-school? Well we are, and that means that our school is making efforts every day to stay green. Some of the things our energy efficiency group is doing include implementing eco-friendly browsers, starting lights out lunches every Monday and Friday, creating signs for lights and monitors, and adding important information to our school website about being eco-friendly. We're also having a fun sweater day where we’re lowering the temperature of the school by two degrees and we will all wear sweaters. We’re also adding Ecosia to all our browsers. Ecosia is a company that plants a tree for every forty-five searches on the internet. Students are also making fifteen signs and posting them around the school, to remind people to turn off lights and monitors. Sweater day will be held on the 29th of November, and the 16th and 17th of December. Remember to check the school website for more cool information about how we are going eco-friendly, and the steps to become a platinum school, and to watch a video about implementing eco-friendly habits. Always remember to stay green!
