Public Engagement Sessions
The Regional Executive Director of Education (RED) will lead a series of public engagement sessions with HRCE families and regional leaders three times a year to discuss student achievement, well-being and capital planning. Feedback from each session will be shared with families, EECD and HRCE staff to help inform our work. More information can be found below. Families are our partners in education. We are listening to lead.
