At the Peel District School Board’s (PDSB) organizational meeting held on November 19, trustees re-elected David Green (Brampton Wards 1 and 5) as chair of the board and elected Lucas Alves (Mississauga Ward 3 and 4) as vice-chair for the first time.
“I am honoured to continue serving Peel students, staff and families in this capacity,” said Chair Green. “As we advance our Multi-Year Strategic Plan, I look forward to working with trustees, staff and community partners to create safe, equitable and inclusive learning environments. Together, we will continue to prioritize student success, well-being and belonging in every classroom.”
Incoming Vice-Chair Alves added: “I am grateful for the confidence my fellow trustees have placed in me. It is a privilege to step into this leadership role. I look forward to working with Chair Green and the Board of Trustees to support innovative, responsive and student-centred practices that ensure every learner has the opportunity to excel.”

Trustees are responsible for setting policy, advocating for their communities and ensuring excellence in education for all students.
