Thank you for taking an active role in Simcoe County’s public education process.
Board and Committee Meetings
All Standing Committee (Business and Facilities, Human Resources, and Program), Board, and Special Board Meetings are held at the Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) Education Centre, located at 1170 Highway 26 in Midhurst (across from the museum). All Board and Standing Committee meetings are video-recorded and live-streamed online at www.scdsb.on.ca. These recordings are archived online for future access.
Members of the public are welcome to watch Board and Standing Committee Meetings in- person or online. The public is reminded that observers do not have an opportunity to speak at or during the meeting unless they are scheduled to present or delegate before the Board.
