SD46 Trustee Tour 2013

SD46 Board of Education & Superintendent of Schools

What an awesome tradition that has started with the SD46 Board of Education… the Trustee Tour.  I appreciate the time that we have taken to visit schools as a cohort.  We observe classes, engage with students & teachers, and dialogue with school principals.  This year, we are taking three days to cover the school district.  Day 1 covers the north end of the peninsula on January 15th, Day 2 for the south end on January 18th, and Day 3 will be the Sunshine Coast Alternative Schools on February 12th.  What I have noticed this year is an increased use of technology in the classroom, LIF and surplus funds spent on specific needs of each school, and school pride.  I particularly liked being led through schools by students. My overall impression of SD46 based on 2 days of the tour is that we are going above and beyond to offer the best educational programs and experiences for our students.  Well done staff and students of SD46.  I am proud to represent this district as school trustee.
