Call for Nominations and Resolutions
Member school boards and trustees are invited to nominate candidates for the 2024-2025 Association's Provincial Executive. The following positions will be elected for two-year terms in 2024: Vice-President (boards with 6,000 students or more) and Directors for Regions 1, 3, and 5 (one position).
As well, the Resolutions and Policy Committee is inviting member boards to submit resolutions for consideration at the Association’s 2024 Annual Convention. The procedure to submit a resolution can be found in MSBA's resolutions primer.
New Division Dispatches Series - DEI
Whether a school board, a commercial enterprise, a large corporate board or a small volunteer group, most boards are making visible commitments to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Statements are included in a vision and mission and there are strategic goals for administration. But when it comes to intra-board dynamics, practices and making plans, boards can do more to commit to real board-level DEI change.
DEI - Member Commitment is the first video of this new series.
