Alan Campbell has been elected as the president of the Manitoba School Boards Association — for the second time.
Campbell served his first term as president from October 2018 to March 2023. After that, he served as past-president from March 2023 to March 2025.
Now he has been elected as president once again for the 2024-2026 term, and he also continues to serve as president of the Canadian School Boards Association since 2022 and a trustee for the Interlake School Division since 2010.
Campbell said his first term as president was largely monopolized by fighting the former provincial government’s attempts to eliminate school boards through Bill 64.
“There is a sense of cautious optimism as we move forward in collaboration with the current provincial government, who has publicly stated a strong willingness to respect the autonomy of locally elected boards in the spirit of partnership, for the good of our public schools and the communities they serve,” he said.
“In a world where there is so much instability right now, school boards are focused on ensuring that local public schools remain a source of safety and stability for all students, staff and families.”
