In June 2026, the Ad Hoc Governance Committee met twice to consider restructuring DSBN’s governance model in light of Bill 101 and evolving Ministry expectations. The June 8 and June 16 minutes describe plans to reduce standing committees, shift more work directly to the Board in fewer but more substantive meetings, streamline the policy library, and launch a centralized Student and Family Support Office (SFSO). A sample framework proposes only statutory committees plus a limited set of working groups like Policy and Governance, with all Board and committee meetings to be held in the Board room and livestreamed.These governance changes will impact how information is packaged, how trustees and the public access agendas, and how new tools like the SFSO intake form are used. Vendors that provide board management software, agenda/minute automation, streaming/AV solutions, policy management platforms, or customer service/CRM systems for education can align offerings to DSBN’s push for more efficient, transparent governance and community-facing processes.

Committee is considering changing agenda delivery timelines from 48 hours to seven business days and standardizing a combined web page for all Board/committee meetings and materials.
