Manitoba trustees to merge urban and rural groups in Manitoba
About 500 trustees from urban and rural Manitoba will meet in Winnipeg on June 21 to decide on amalgamating the Urban School Trustees Association with the Manitoba School Trustees Association. The merged body, to be the Manitoba Association of School Trustees, will feature a slight urban advantage in votes. The plan aims to present unified proposals to the education minister and ends a six year split over representation.
