Deputy Minister of Education and Child Care
Hi, everyone.
Like the summer break, the updates this week are short (but important!) Please see below for information/reminders on financial reporting requirements, the closing of the current iteration of the New Spaces Fund intake, and, as requested, review criteria for Framework for Enhancing Student Learning (FESL) reports. And finally, I’m pleased to announce that after an extensive search, Leona Prince will be joining us August 1, 2024, as our new Assistant Superintendent of Indigenous Education. Leona is a passionate, award-winning educator who has dedicated her entire 18-year career to serving the public in various roles in B.C.’s public education system. She is a member of the Lake Babine Nation and comes from Nak’azdli Whut’en. Leona looks forward to bringing the knowledge and skills that she learned in her role as Director of Instruction in School District 91 (Nechako Lakes) and from within her traditional land-based and governance teachings in community to her new role with the ministry. Leona will be joining us in Whistler in her new role!
Have a great long weekend,
Christina
