Why does the Almadina School Society board not hold elections at the same time as all the regular public school boards, such as during a Municipal election?
As part of their application to the Minister of Education, Almadina parents and other charter school parents had to form a Society. The Society must meet the conditions of the Society’s Act and create a mechanism for a charter board that governs the school. In other words, the Almadina School Society (6021) Directors operates Almadina Language Charter Academy as granted by the Minister. The By-Laws of the Society state that seven board members, mostly parents, must be elected every year. At renewal of the charter or at other times, the Society must petition the Minister if it seeks changes.
