A pair of Chatham-Kent residents have been elected by their fellow trustees to lead the Lambton Kent District School Board.
Randy Campbell and Kelley Robertson were chosen as chair and vice-chair, respectively, at the Nov. 21 school board meeting.
Campbell is assuming the post for the second time, having been elected chair of the board for 2020-2022. He was first elected as a trustee in 2006 and held the position of vice-chair from 2018 to 2020.
Robertson was first elected to the board in 2022 and serves on the parent involvement committee, as well as the special education advisory committee.
Campbell thanked his fellow trustees for their continued support for student achievement and well-being, acknowledging challenges lie ahead.
“It’s an exciting time to serve as a trustee for the Lambton Kent District School Board,” Campbell said, stating he has confidence in the trustees to come together and make decisions that support the LKDSB mission to “truly foster success for every student, every day.”
Grateful for the support of her colleagues, Robertson said she will continue to work towards student success, noting she wants to build “confidence” with communities throughout the district.
LKDSB director of education John Howitt congratulated the pair, noting the role of the board is much like a compass that provides direction for the operational work of administration.
