b'REPORTS The Advocacy Committee also monitored the New Brunswick Green Paper, writing to the Premier, Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development, and leaders of all political parties urging them to exercise their influence and leadership to ensure that any review of the education governance structure is based on credible evidence with genuine consultation of stakeholders, and to take a leadership role in ensuring that local democratic voice in education remains a pillar of the public system.CSBA is very pleased that the government of Prince Edward Island is reinstating democratically elected school boards. The President was able to meet virtually with the Minister and staff to offer support and input. Although the face-to-face meeting in Charlottetown in September 2020 was cancelled, there is ongoing communication with the Minster and his staff.We believe that a strong unified voice to strategically advocate will lead to informed improvements for the system.We are proud of the efforts of the board and its member Associations in their home provinces and school boards. We look forward to continuing change to our work in the coming year towards student success.'
