We extend our sincere gratitude to outgoing Trustees Jonathan Byer, Dennis Draves, Steve Meunier, Cindy Pye-Reasbeck, and Doug Walsh for their dedicated service and lasting contributions to public education across the region.

Throughout their tenure, these trustees demonstrated strong governance and leadership. Jonathan Byer, Steve Meunier, and Cindy Pye-Reasbeck each served terms as Chair of the Board, with Byer, Pye-Reasbeck, and Dennis Draves also lending their leadership as Vice-Chair. Together, the outgoing trustees actively supported crucial board committees, including Audit, Governance and Policy, Finance and Property, the Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC), and the Indigenous Peoples Advisory Committee (IPAC).

A cornerstone of their legacy was the collaborative development of the 2025–2029 Multi-Year Strategic Plan. Their forward-looking vision and commitment to equity, student achievement, and well-being were instrumental in shaping this plan.

“It has been an honour to work alongside this group of trustees during the 2022–2026 term," said Lesleigh Dye, Chief Executive Officer (CEO). "Their pride in our DSB1 educators and their unwavering belief in the potential of every learner guided their decisions at the board table every single day. We thank them for their years of committed service to our students, staff, and school communities."

The inaugural meeting of the Board for the Trustees serving the 2026-2030 term will take place on Tuesday, November 17, beginning at 6:15 p.m. As always, this public session will be broadcast live on the DSB1 YouTube Channel and Facebook Page.
