12 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday October 19, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com New public school board superintendent The Halton District School Board has made an addition to its senior management team. At a board meeting on Wednesday (Oct. 17), trustees announced the appointment of Patricia Dyson as a superintendent of education, effective Nov. 1. The board says this latest administrative appointment completes the complement of superintendents on the senior administrative team bringing the number of superintendents to 10 and the total number on the senior administrative team to 13. "With leadership strengths in school environments, she will be an asset to the Halton District School Board," Halton board Director of Education Wayne Joudrie said in a press release. Following the retirement of Al Greyson earlier this year as student services superintendent, the board approved the assignment of superintendent Kathy Schaffer to the student services role from her previous posting on the school operations team with responsibility for the Oakville family of schools. Dyson's appointment will mean the reassignment of a superintendent to the Oakville family of schools. Dyson comes to the Halton District School Board from the Simcoe County Board where she has served in a number of roles including principal of special education, where she was responsible for leading principals and staff in providing programs and supports for special needs students. Her responsibilities also included leadership development programs for school administrators. Dyson was also a principal at West Bayfield elementary, a KindergartenGrade 8 school, as well as an education officer with the Ontario Ministry of Education, in the curriculum and assessment policy branch. In that role she was responsible for student success initiatives, locally developed compulsory credit courses and supports for principals and vice-principals.
