As candidates announce plans to run for municipal councils, there is a need for people to come forward and run to fill spots with district education councils.
The matter was raised at the monthly meeting of the Anglophone South District Education Council last week.
Outgoing chair Rob Fowler suggested candidates might be found through parent school support committees if current members are not re-offering.
“The last couple of elections, on average, well over 50 per cent of our seats are either acclaimed or uncontested so it has to be appointed after the fact and that doesn’t look good,” Fowler said.
Elections for district education councils are being held on May 10.
