The committee is currently looking for members who belong to organizations or agencies that support children with special needs.

Prospective members must be 18 years and older, have Canadian citizenship, and not be an employee of the SCDSB. A letter of nomination (written by the director of the association you belong to) must be sent to the Superintendent of School Effectiveness, Rossella Bagnato.

In our Inaugural Meeting held last night, Michael Bellmore and Ray Desjardins were both acclaimed as Chair of the Board and Vice-Chair respectively. Congratulations to both! We look forward to working with our Board for the 2017-2018 School Year!
