School boards under supervision or vesting orders get modified meeting and tenure rules

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

The regulation now sets out special rules for school boards that are under provincial supervision or subject to a vesting order. The normal statutory rules about when and where a board must hold its first meeting no longer apply to these boards; instead, the Minister or a ministerially appointed person decides the date and location of that first meeting. Similarly, the usual rule requiring board members to leave office at a set time is suspended — members of these boards stay in their roles until their successors are elected and their new terms begin. This affects how governance transitions are managed for boards under active provincial oversight.
