Two experienced trustees have been acclaimed to lead the St. Clair Catholic District School Board for the 2026 term.
At the helm is board chair John Van Heck, while David Argenti holds the position of vice chair.
First elected as a trustee in 2006, Van Heck has led the board as chair since 2016.
In a media release, Van Heck thanked his fellow trustees for placing their trust in him, noting challenges are ahead.
“We know this will be a challenging year for our board and for school boards across the province,” said Van Heck. “But we believe that, as locally elected trustees, we can best represent the interests of our constituents. We will continue to advocate for this important form of governance, through our trustees’ association.”
It’s Argenti’s fourth term as vice-chair, having been elected to the board in 2018.
“I am honoured to serve as your vice chair for another term,” Argenti said in the release. “I will work with you and with our chair as we support Catholic education in the St. Clair district and across Ontario.”
