I found this photo of Rob MacGregor, assistant superintendent of learning and teaching, a little funny.

He’s sitting in a children’s seat at Talbot Hill elementary at a district Board of Directors meeting.

A few meetings a year the Board of Directors meets at an elementary school instead of the administration building.

Wednesday the meeting was held in the library at Talbot Hill. The chairs provided for audience members were designed for children’s use in the library.

Luckily they were extra wide, or we would have all been forced to stand.
