Board Elects 2024/25 Chair and Vice Chair

At the first board meeting of the 2024-2025 school year, the annual elections for the positions of Board Chair and Vice Chair were held. Trustee David Truckey was elected Board Chair, and Trustee Judy Lefebvre was elected Vice Chair.  Congratulations to both trustees!

Resignation of Trustee Melissa Hanna

The board regretfully accepted the resignation of Melissa Hanna, who served as trustee for West Ward 2, which includes the Swan Hills School and Fort Assiniboine School attendance areas. With the current elected term ending in October 2025, the board has opted not to hold a by-election for this ward. Instead, the other trustees will attend school council meetings and fill any positions on community committees within West Ward 2.  For more information about board committees, see Policy 08 Appendix A – Committees of the Board – Appendix A – Committee List.

We wish Trustee Hanna all the best. Thank you Trustee Hanna for your dedicated service to the students and communities of Pembina Hills School Division.
