Last Call for School Council Elections

Members of the Fort River community interested in running for the FR School Governance Council must have their statement submitted by October 1.

There are two seats open on the Fort River School Governance Council. The Council is a state-mandated elected body of parents, staff, and community representatives that help define the policies and procedures of the school. The Council works collaboratively with the school Principal on matters such as the budget, staffing, and the school improvement plan. Meetings occur monthly, and the terms are two years in length. All candidates will need to prepare a short (50 words or less) statement that will accompany a ballot that goes home to all parents. If you are interested in running for a vacant seat, contact Pam Rietkerk at pam.fortriver@gmail.com. The election will be held in early October.
