Nominations are currently being accepted for trustees for the French Language School Board and will be accepted until 4 p.m. on Friday, May 9, 2014. Nominations will be accepted by any Returning Officer in the electoral zones.
Candidate qualifications, nomination papers, zone maps and a list of returning officers are listed on the Elections PEI website at www.electionspei.ca or on the French Language School Board site at www.cslfipe.wordpress.com.
“We have had nomination papers delivered to the Returning Officers but not enough to fill the nine trustee positions,” says Gary McLeod, Chief Electoral Officer for Prince Edward Island. “I would encourage people who are interested in the education of their children to consider being nominated as a trustee.”

Zone 1 (Évangéline Region) - three (3) trustees;
