Below is the posting for the position of “Director of Education” with the Peel District School Board. Peel District School Board in one of North America’s Largest School Boards with over 220 schools and an annual operating budget of $1.3 Billion.
You can learn more about the Board here, http://www.peel.edu.on.ca/
The Director position would be equivalent to “CEO and President” of the School Board. The Director reports to the Board of Trustees.
I forward this note to each of you because I have a very close and solid relationship with a decision maker at the Board, who will be part of the decision committee. Over 60% of students in Peel’s schools are of colour, and the last administration has done nothing to address the needs of black students. The Region of Peel needs some solid Black candidates for this position.
If you know anyone who may be interested, let me know. I can then link up them directly with my contact, who will then coach them ‘behind the scenes”.
