With students already back in classes, public school trustees are heading back with the first board meeting of the fall school year slated for tonight at 7 p.m. at the board office in Fort Frances.
This month, the Rainy River District School Board’s recognition of excellence will be for the Sunset Country Regional Science Fair that took place back in April of 2010.
Presentations for the evening include one on the Young Women’s Conference which took place at the end of this past May, as well as Challenge 2010—a similar program that was run for young men.
As per the Municipal Election Act, the board is also set to approve a motion to appoint Dean Carrie, Chris Howarth and Erica Bailey to the Compliance Audit Committee to serve the Rainy River District School Board.
