Jamie Schoular, UCDSB Chair (File photo)
Jamie Schoular is the newest chair of the Upper Canada District School Board.
The Ward 3 Trustee is in his second term in the role and this will be his first year serving as Chair of the Board.
Prior to that, Scholuar was provided three minutes make remarks to their fellow trustees. He used part of his time to remind everyone of the choppy waters he helped steer through during the latest labour negotiations with the Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario.
Schoular was elected chair following a silent vote over John McAllister.
He made brief remarks following his win as he sat in the big seat for the first time.
Ward 1 Trustee Lynda Johnston was appointed Vice-Chair during the same meeting.
