A phys-ed teacher in Halifax hopes she can ease the burden on other teachers while also ensuring students have access to extracurricular sports. During the work-to-rule campaign by teachers last school year, one of the biggest casualties for students was school sports. Veinotte will oversee 47 schools, including private schools and some of the French schools. The board hopes Veinotte's new role will make things better for kids and easier for teachers who were feeling overwhelmed, he said. People can find more information about Veinotte's role and activities on Twitter or on the school board's website.
