“This is an exciting opportunity for me to focus my years of experience to collaborate with trustees, administrators, teachers and support staff to improve student learning and student success at Thames Valley,” Fisher said.

The board announced back in December that Elliott would be retiring in August after nearly 40 years in public education, 12 of which have been at the TVDSB.
