School District 57 to hold by-election January 15th

We know now when a by-election will be held for two trustee positions within School District 57.

It will be held on January 15th where one person each will be elected in the Prince George and the Mackenzie electoral areas.

Nominations will be received by the Chief or Deputy Chief Election Officer from November 30th to December 10th.

This comes after a major shakeup in September when Board Chair Trent Derrick and Vice-Chair Shuirose Valimohamed tendered their resignations.

Their exit came less than a month after the Ministry of Education urged the Prince George School Board to act on a special advisers report, which outlines concerns in the school district, including educational outcomes for Indigenous students, relationships with First Nations communities, allocation of resources, and strategic planning
