Jane Jackson, Executive Director of the North Bay Literacy Council has filed her nomination papers seeking a seat as a trustee for the Near North District School Board – Zone 1.

 Zone 1 includes the Municipality of West Nipissing and the City of North Bay.

“The timing just feels right for me as I plan to retire from the North Bay Literacy Council in December and the Trustee term begins at the same time. I will be able to dedicate the time needed to become familiar with the legislation and regulations of the NNDSB.  I have worked on a variety of local, regional and provincial boards and I bring 26 years of experience working in the education field of Literacy and Basic Skills. I understand that there are many challenges facing the Board in the coming years and I know I can help make these serious decisions.”
