Regional leadership and contacts

Office of the Regional Executive Director

Nova Scotia's English regional centres have had no elected board since 2018; the Regional Executive Director of Education reports to the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, and each school has a School Advisory Council. Regional office: 33 Spectacle Lake Drive, Dartmouth, 902-464-2000. The Regional Executive Director is supported by an eleven-member senior staff; the centre publishes the roles rather than the names.
