Trustees had an opportunity to ask ACSTA leadership questions, and learn about advocacy work for publicly funded Catholic education.
• The Board unanimously ratified its decision to have classes on Monday, September 19, the day of the Queen’s funeral. Teachers and staff were given resources to use the day to teach about Her late Majesty’s life, and the role of the monarchy.
• The Board called a special meeting for Monday, November 28, 2022 at noon to approve the audited financial statements, as well as the education assurance plan.
• The Board is in full support of HFCRD schools getting involved in “Toonies for Tuition”, which is an initiative put on by the Canadian Catholic School Trustees Association (CCSTA). Some families in Canada have to pay tuition to attend a Catholic school and this campaign is designed to help remove that financial barrier.  Click here to learn more about “Toonies for Tuition”.
