The annual elections for the Bluewater District School Board played out the same, as both the Chair Jane Thomson and Vice-Chair Jan Johnstone, were chosen for the seat for a fifth-straight term.
Thomson, the Trustee for North and South Bruce Peninsula, won the election for Chair at the Initial Meeting of the Board on November 19. She beat out Brockton and South Bruce Trustee Derrick Long, who is facing a possible censure in the new year.
Johnstone, the Trustee for Kincardine and Huron-Kinloss was acclaimed as Vice-Chair.
A statement from the board said the duo "are owed many thanks for their steadfast commitment and years of vast experience and strong leadership in supporting success and well-being for all Bluewater District School Board students."
