The Upper Canada District School Board is down one trustee.
Carole Dufort has informed the board that she is resigning from her role as trustee because of health reasons.
Dufort was elected in 2022 in Ward 2, which includes the Lanark Highlands, Perth, Tay Valley Township, Montague, and Drummond/North Elmsley areas.
She has been a devoted trustee for the UCDSB ever since and she’s a former award-winning educator and principal.
The Board of Trustees will meet next week to discuss proceeding with an appointment process to fill the now vacant seat with the appointment required to be completed within 90 days.
