The Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) have elected trustees Marvin Duarte as Chair of the Board and Emma Murphy as Vice-Chair. Both will serve a one-year term ending in November 2025.
Duarte, Trustee for Milton Wards 1 and 4, was acclaimed as Chair, while Murphy, Trustee for Milton Wards 2 and 3, was elected Vice-Chair. Trustees are elected every four years during municipal elections, and last stood for election on Oct. 24, 2022.
The HCDSB is allocated a maximum of nine trustees, each representing designated wards across Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville. Trustees convene twice monthly to address issues related to student achievement, serve as ambassadors for Catholic education, and uphold accountability for Board decisions.
“I would like to thank my fellow Trustees for their confidence in re-electing me,” said Duarte.
“Over the coming year, I will continue to uphold the highest standards of excellence, in support of all students in our HCDSB schools. I am eager to further our mandate in Catholic education, while prioritizing student achievement and the overall success of our board. I look forward to a positive and fruitful year ahead!”
Murphy also expressed gratitude for her new role. “I extend my appreciation and sincere thanks to HCDSB Trustees for choosing me as Vice-Chair of the Board. I am honoured to be in this role and look forward to working alongside the Chair as we continue to support decisions at the board table that consistently prioritize the best interests of student achievement and well-being.”
