Lobbying group follows election By Stew Slater SPECIAL TO THE TIMES -ADVOCATE SEAFORTH — The lobbying organization rep- resenting public school boards in Ontario has entered one of the most important periods for its membership — a provincial election — under the leadership of Wingham resident and veteran Avon Maitland District School Board trustee Colleen Schenk. Schenk, who has served as a regional vice- president with the Ontario Public School Boards Association (OPSBA) for three years, stepped into the position of acting president in late August, after incumbent president Rick Johnson resigned to stand as a candidate for the provincial Liberals in his home riding. "I'm the official spokesperson for the organi- zation," Schenk told reporters after a regular Avon Maitland meeting Sept. 11. "I'm in Toronto a lot right now. There are a lot of meetings and election -related events lined up in the next little while." The next meeting of the OPSBA board of directors is in late September, and member organizations are being asked before that time to consider how to best name a successor to finish out Johnson's term. Schenk says she will seek the position through whatever process is favoured. But in the interim, she must direct the orga- nization's election activities and present a public face in support of public education. "I've had quite a lot of exposure on the Toronto media in the last little while," she commented. Currently, OPSBA officials are "analyzing the different party platforms" on education, and they plan to distribute the key points to mem- ber school boards soon. Schenk has now also stepped into Johnson's role as Ontario's rep- resentative on an association of Canadian public school boards. Huron -Bruce meeting scheduled Sept. 27 Continued from front page dates in an upcoming issue.
