Minister appoints inquiry team to Northland School Division
In January 2010, the Minister appointed a three-member inquiry team under Section 41of the School Act to study the operations of the Northland School Division. To learn about the Minister’s decision, click here.
The members of the inquiry team are: Dr. David van Tamelen, former Secretary-Treasurer and Superintendent of Schools, Peace River School Division; Nathan Matthew, former First Nations Representative on the Education Advisory Council to B.C.’s Minister of Education; and Keith Wagner, former Deputy Superintendent (Curriculum) with Grande Prairie School District.
The team will visit all 23 schools and communities to gather and evaluate information through records such as meeting minutes, financial statements and public meetings. The team will also establish the format and dates for meetings with members of the local school committees, school division staff, administration, teachers, parents and students and community members to seek their advice and perspectives.
Once the information is gathered and evaluated, the team will provide its recommendations to the Minister.
Below is the latest community meeting schedule.
