There's a new face at the helm of the Greater Essex County District School Board.
Kim McKinley takes over as chair after ten years as a trustee. "I'm just kind of looking forward to getting my feet wet and learning as I go along."
She's headed-up the Education and Operations and Finance committees before but this is her first time as board chair. "I'm happy right now that we just finished our CUPE contracts. Hopefully there will be a time of some labour peace. So I'm thrilled to represent this board and I'll do the best I can."
McKinleys name was drawn out of a hat after three votes ended in a tie.
Trustee Ron LeClair has been acclaimed the board's vice-chair.
