Cowichan Valley board of education votes to retain leadership

The Cowichan Valley School District will keep its current leadership team for another year. 

At its Nov. 4 board meeting, trustee Cathy Schmidt was re-elected as board chair, while Elizabeth Croft will continue as vice-chair. Both have served in those roles for the past year. 

In a news release, assistant superintendent Jeff Rowan said under Schmidt and Croft’s leadership, the district will continue delivering quality education to students across the Cowichan Valley. 

“The board remains committed to providing students with an exceptional educational experience,” he said. “Under the leadership of the chair and vice-chair, the board will continue to advance the goals outlined in the strategic plan.” 

Those goals include learning, Indigenous ways of knowing, individual and collective well-being, and caring for place. 

Board elections are held annually during the trustees’ term.
