Dear Editor,
I read with great interest your editorial about school boards (“In another world,” August 28 2024). I applaud your efforts to inform your readers about these boards, and about the limitations that have been placed upon them via provincial legislation.
In addition to utter confusion and often contradictory direction/regulation from the provincial government, and despite chronic low voter turnout, especially in the case of municipal elections, the people who serve on these boards work hard to ensure that children in Ontario receive the best education as possible, and my hat goes off to them.
Thanks again, editor, for shedding light on this challenging situation, and for providing yet another example as to why a strong, trusted local media is vital to our democracy.
Yours sincerely,
Kerry Badgley
Kemptville
