At the November 28 Board of Trustees meeting for the Upper Canada District School Board [UCDSB], Director of Education Stephen Sliwa recognized outgoing trustees at the last official meeting of the Board of Trustees for the 2014-2018 term. In particular, Mr. Sliwa honoured Chair Jeff McMillan for his eight years as a trustee, the last four of which he served as Chair, and his 40 years of work in education as both a teacher and trustee. Mr. Sliwa spoke of how Jeff led the Board with integrity, praised him for walking a straight path, and for “his efforts to unite and direct us as a school district on this journey”. Jeff was presented with several gifts, including the traditional pineapple given in jest by Board colleagues as a sign it’s time to “move on.”
