BRSD Trustees Continued from Front about the division or how it runs. He presented feedback from all four public consultations as well as comparisons from schools around the province before the board considered making any changes. During their September 2019 Board meeting, trustees initially defeated a motion to
change to five trustees (two for the city, one for each of the counties), and defeated a second motion increasing the board to nine trustees, with three for the city, and two for each of the counties. But at their October 2019, meeting, trustees considered a new motion reducing the total board to five trustees, with two from Camrose and one each from each of the three counties. This motion was passed. No changes will be made to the current
board. This change will not take place until the next municipal election, scheduled for the fall of 2021. Diane Hutchinson, Communications Coordinator for the Division, says a lot of work has to be done between now and then to get ready for this change. During the Flagstaff County public consultation, held in Sedgewick, Steele said to all participants, “It is important not to get into a ‘my schools’ vs. ‘your schools’ mind set.”
Erickson was quick to agree, saying that the present board tries to represent all areas, “We were elected to represent all the division’s kids. “This is my second term on the board. Eight people have worked, we are eight people at one table looking at the entire Battle River Region. “Whatever decision we make, I don’t think that’s going to change. “The board felt it was our duty to examine the issue, and that’s what we are doing here.”

activity to police immediately by calling your local police detachment. Many people believe that their vehicle isn’t going to be stolen because they live on a quiet street or are only leaving it unattended for a minute.
