Robert Kolosowski
YRDSB Trustee for Richmond Hill Wards 1, 2 & 4
Dear friends and neighbours,
As one of thirteen Trustees elected to govern the York Region District School Board, it is my responsibility to ensure that our School Board lives up to its full potential. Trustees are responsible for developing policies, approving a budget and hiring the Director of Education. It is a true honour to serve as our Trustee.
In addition, I serve as the Chair of the YRDSB's Property and Finance Standing Committee, and sit on the Policy and Bylaw Committee, Audit Committee and Joint Board Consortium.
My top priority is to remove politics from our education system and restore a focus on what really matters: education and safety.
Sincerely,
Robert Kolosowski
