Regional Tour Fall 2021
FISA and the Ministry of Education are pleased to present an opportunity for independent school leaders and Board members to attend a virtual version of the Regional Tour. The first two sessions occurred in late November and the third and final session will be held on December 14th.
The Regional Tour includes a presentation by the Ministry of Education on ministerial policies, pertinent statistics, and educational updates. The FISA presentation will focus on the advocacy issues and supports we are working on and providing for independent schools.
The last virtual session is scheduled for 90 minutes (if you are able, please set aside 120 minutes as the first two sessions went longer to accommodate some valuable Q & A).
Dec 14, 2021, 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. (PST)
