As I leave the WRDSB to start my journey with the HWDSB...
It has been an absolute honour and privilege to serve and support students and staff in Waterloo Region. I am proud of the work we have accomplished as a school board and more specifically as Business Services. 1/2

Today, we say goodbye to Associate Director @ReadLila. 👋🏽

Thank you for your steadfast leadership, for always putting #WRDSB students first, and for helping us set important strategic priorities. We are grateful you have chosen to be with us for 25 years. Happy retirement, Lila!

This news is very upsetting for many families of students who will not be able to get to school. Please remember to be kind to our @STSWR bus drivers. Late buses and cancellations of bus routes are not their fault. Bus drivers are doing the best they can to keep things running.

[STSWR @STSWR]

Late notices are operating more accurately now. Please note that our decision to cancel buses on a rotating basis starting Monday September 19 will help special education services be more reliable. Thank you for your patience.

[Waterloo Region DSB @wrdsb]

To our school bus families: we have an important @STSWR update for you. 🚌

We are experiencing a driver shortage and this is impacting bus service. Some routes will be cancelled using the same approach as last school year. Visit our website for details. https://t.co/LwzWI2vxe4

[Waterloo Region DSB @wrdsb]

Up next, we have Associate Director @ReadLila as she takes the stage one last time and speaks at her final system leaders meeting. Lila retires from #WRDSB on September 30.

Thank you Lila for your leadership, guidance and genuine love of #education. We will miss you! #LiveWRDSB

[Waterloo Region DSB @wrdsb]

With #BackToSchool only ONE WEEK away, we thought we would do something fun to get our students, staff and families excited...😁

We are reintroducing the #FirstDayPhotoChallenge. 📸

This is our Ethical Core. @WRDSBdirector says this is what brought us all to education, and it’s what keeps us here.

“It is what should move us to continually ask ourselves, am I leading from a place of love in this moment. As we do our work, it is going to be…” #LiveWRDSB
