#27: How to serve the public on a dying school board | Interview with Cindy Littlefair HRSB Member

Update: 2018-03-01

Description

On Thursday March 1st - the Nova Scotia Government is expected to introduce its education reform bill that will dissolve all English Language School boards in the province.

Cindy Littlefair is one of the members of the Halifax Regional School Board grappling with the challenge of how to serve the public in the dying days of School Boards in Nova Scotia.

In this episode of the podcast we speak with Cindy about this. We use the remarks she shared at last week's HRSB meeting as a starting point for our conversation.

What is a conscientious board member to do in this moment?

Go away quietly?
Resist the dissolution?
Carry on their duties as a school board trustee in exile?
