THE BATTLEFORDS — At the annual Living Sky School Division (LSKYSD) Board of Education organizational meeting on Nov. 8, Ronna Pethick and Shaun Weber were re-elected to their positions as chair and vice chair by acclamation.
"The Living Sky School Division Board of Education is currently governed by nine members, with one spot remaining vacant after the resignation of long-time trustee, Richard Hiebert, last year," a press release from the division reads.
It notes that six trustees represent rural areas in sub-divisions one through six, three represent the City of North Battleford and one represents the Town of Battleford.
Ronna Pethick has served as a board trustee for 26 years and this marks her eighth year as board chair. She represents sub-division four, which includes Unity, Cut Knife and Hillsvale Colony schools.
“It’s an honour to be elected chair of LSKYSD Board of Education. I appreciate the continued support of my fellow board members and look forward to working with Shaun, and all the trustees, once again to further our division goals and strategic plan," she said in a statement.
"Locally elected boards play a vital role in providing much-needed local voice to our provincial education system and I am very proud to represent Living Sky.”
Shaun Weber is in his third year as a board trustee and this marks his third year as vice-chair. He represents the City of North Battleford.
“It is a great honour to have the board place their trust in me to serve as vice chair, I look forward to continuing to advocate for students, parents, and the staff of LSKYSD at the provincial level," Weber said.
