Patti Bacchus was sworn in last night as a new trustee on Vancouver’s new Board of Education and elected as the Chair of Vancouver’s Board of Education. Patti, a tireless parent activist, will lead the progressive Vision/COPE that brings together a combination of radical education activists (Bouey), community activists (Clement, Gregson, Wong), and former teacher unionists (Blakey, Lombardi). There are a lot of expectations for this board. All the best as your journey begins!
