The members of the Council to Improve Classroom Conditions have been announced.
Fourteen people from across the province will be discussing classroom issues such as data collection, class sizes and student attendance policies.
Nine teachers, one student, a parent and a guidance counsellor will decide how to use the two-year, $20 million budget to make improvements.
Liz Brideau-Clark teaches junior high at Bayview Community School in Mahone Bay and is one of the teachers selected.
She looks forward to working to finding solutions to longstanding problems.
“I’ve seen classrooms functioning at a really nice level with supports and I’ve seen over the last 15 years those supports go by the wayside. I just feel that I can really bring some experience.”
The final two positions on the council will be filled by the co-chairs Sandra McKenzie, the Deputy Education Minister and Joan Ling, Executive Director of the Nova Scotia Teachers Union.
Almost 800 teachers applied for a postion on the council.
Their first meeting will take place on March 21.
