Tuesday, Nov. 14, the first meeting of the
Richmond school trustees since the civic election started with a traditional
greeting from Indigenous Elder Roberta Price, welcoming the trustees to the
traditional territory of Musqueam People.
After a welcome by Sherry Elwood, district
superintendent, Brighouse Elementary School choir, under the direction of
teacher Robin Anderson, led attendees in the singing of O Canada. The Brighouse
choir then offered a second song for the assembled trustees and guests.
Once the trustees were sworn in, Ken
Hamaguchi was elected as chairperson and Sandra Nixon was re-elected as
vice-chairperson of the board.
Our board of education meets at 7 p.m. in the
board room at the school district administration offices, 7811 Granville
Avenue, Richmond, on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month, with a few
exceptions. Board meetings are open to the public.
Meeting agendasand reports are posted to the school district’s website on the Friday prior to each meeting. Minutes of meetings are posted to the website following approval at the subsequent meeting of the board.
