Trustee Fulvio Valentinis is the chair of the Windsor Essex Catholic School Board of Trustees for another year after trustees acclaimed him on Tuesday night.
The board also acclaimed vice chair Mary DiMenna.
DiMenna has represented Essex, Kingsville, and Leamington on the board since 2003 and is a retired elementary school teacher who spent 33 years in the classroom.
Previously, she was vice chair from 2009 to 2017 and again in 2022.
"We have a very united board of trustees who are all committed to working together with our administrators and with one another to make sure that we deliver on our key objective of providing faith-filled environments where all of our students can achieve success," she said.
Valentinis is a former Windsor city councillor. He was first elected as a trustee to represent Wards 1 and 10 in 2014. This is his third term as a trustee.
"Our student achievement results are very encouraging. We're adding new programming, and our enrollment is exceeding expectations," said Valentinis. "Being responsible stewards of our resources will be especially challenging for us as we accommodate the influx of new students, and we'll be monitoring the provincial situation as our government negotiates new contracts with our various labour groups."
Elections for chair and vice chair of the board of trustees are held annually. Trustees elect those positions at a yearly organizational meeting.
