Dear friends and neighbours,

​​

As one of thirteen trustees elected to govern the York Region District School Board, I share in the responsibility of ensuring that the Board fulfills its mandate to provide high-quality public education for the students of York Region. Trustees provide governance and oversight by establishing policies and by-laws, approving budgets, and hiring the Chief Executive Officer.

​

In addition to my responsibilities as Trustee, I was appointed to serve as Chair of the Finance and Property Standing Committee. I also serve as a member of the Policy and By-law Standing Committee, the Audit Committee, and the Joint Board Consortium.

​

Making good decisions in the boardroom requires active community engagement. That means listening to the voices of students, parents, and educators, and working directly with them to help resolve the challenges they face within the school system. 

​

​Every decision we make affects the lives of tens of thousands of people. Having sworn an Oath of Office to faithfully carry out these responsibilities, I remain committed to a collaborative approach to governance that prioritizes practical solutions over politics. My focus will always remain on the core mission of public education: ensuring safe learning environments and providing every student with an excellent education.

​

Sincerely,

Robert Kolosowski
