Board elects leadership

         At it's inaugural meeting on December 4, 2000, the trustees of the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board were sworn in followed by the election of its Chair and Vice-chair for 2001.
        The only new face around the Board table was Jim Williams, who was elected trustee for Quinte West. Previously, Mr. Williams had been a trustee with the former Hastings County Board of Education.
        Audrey Carter, trustee for North Prince Edward, was re-elected Chair for her second full term. She ran unopposed for the position. "I look forward to working with everyone around this table," said Chair Carter. "This will undoubtedly be another busy year, but with everyone working together, trustees, senior administration, staff, both teaching and non-teaching, school councils, and our community, we can provide an excellent education to our students."
        There was a change in Vice-chair for the Board, with Judy Edgar, trustee for North Hastings, being elected. Mrs. Edgar was an active parent volunteer with schools before becoming trustee in 1997 with the newly amalgamated Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board.
