On December 1, 2025 the Minister of Education placed the Near North District School Board under supervision. While under supervision, all decisions that would normally be made by trustees will now be made by the appointed Supervisor.

Agendas and reports for Board are posted for information prior to the meeting. Due to time constraints, revised agendas and reports may not be available in advance of the meeting.
Minutes are posted after they are approved by Trustees at subsequent meetings of the Board.
