The longtime chair of the Algoma District School Board is staying in the job.
Sault Ste. Marie Ward One trustee Jennifer Sarlo - who's been chair the last eleven years - was acclaimed to the role in the board's inaugural meeting last night, though she'll be joined by a new vice chair: First Nation trustee Elaine Johnston, a member of the board the last eight years and current chair of the Indigenous Trustee Council of the Ontario Public School Board Association - she's also a former Chief of Serpent River First Nation, former Chair of the Nogdawindamin Board, and vice chair of the North Shore Tribal Council.
The English public school board also welcomed four new trustees, with several more returning, including North Algoma and Chapleau trustee Russell Reid.
