New face on the school board

Joyce Bazant has successfully put her name in to serve as a school trustee for the Golden Hills School Division (GHSD). Bazant will serve alongside incumbent Larry Tucker over the next four years.

Bazant is not new to education, having been the executive director of the Wheatland Further Education Society for a number of years. 

“My commitment to education has been a constant throughout my life. I feel there are critical decisions to be made at this time – for example the East Wheatland School; plus the need for new schools to accommodate Strathmore’s growth,” said Bazant. 

“I want to ensure that our students continue to receive excellent educational opportunities. I believe in promoting high divisional standards, ensuring adequate and appropriate budgeting, and maintaining quality leadership. I feel we must continue striving to deliver quality education to a diverse population.”

Bazant said due to her experience in business, she is able to create a vision for the area, and she understands the means necessary to attain results while staying within fiscal boundaries. 

Her first order of business as a school trustee is to assess the circumstances and issues pertaining to the new school in east Wheatland.
