Camille Williams -Taylor assumes the job Jan. 1, the board said in a
statement Tuesday. She has 29 years of experience in education including
provincial, post -secondary and public education leadership roles, most
recently with the Durham District School Board since 2011.
"Camille is a recognized leader in public education in Ontario, known for
her creative and innovative leadership and her capacity to lead change,"
said board chair Shirley Seward. "We are confident that our district will
benefit from her extensive knowledge and commitment to equity,
inclusion and human rights.
"Camille is passionate about bringing voice to students, staff and families
to foster positive relationships and support student success."
The board launched a search for a new director of education in May after
Jennifer Adams announced her departure after eight years. Seward said
they found several "exceptional" candidates. Adams, who was praised for
her "incredible leadership" and Williams -Taylor will work together in
December to plan the transition.
"I am excited about the work this district has done and look forward to the
opportunity to build relationships with staff, students, families, and
community partners," Williams -Taylor said in the statement. "Working
together, we can build a vision for public education that ensures our
students have the best learning opportunities in a safe and caring
environment."
