LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE As CSNO looks toward the next 18 months, growth and accessibility remain central to its mission. “We’re always looking to improve, to grow, and to make things better,” Maisonneuve explains. “As we gather new data, we see there are pockets of francophone populations that don’t currently have access to our schools. One of our main goals is to make francophone education more accessible to these families by creating opportunities that connect communities to the board’s unique educational model, ensuring that no one feels left behind.” For Kropielnicki, the board’s history proves its ability to evolve and thrive. “When I joined 32 years ago we had one school,” she says.“Now, we have three. I see our board growing every year, adapting to meet the needs of our students and families.” She likens CSNO to a canoe: agile and able to change course quickly. “Because we are small, we adapt fast. We offer what our community wants, and that’s how we survive. Whatever our community looks like in 18 months, that’s what we’ll look like too.” Part of this vision also involves providing francophones with a wide range of opportunities comparable to those available to the majority population. “We want to make this a land of opportunity for francophones,” Maisonneuve emphasizes. “Whether it’s new programs, career pathways, or geographic expansion, we’re working to ensure our students and families have access to the same diversity of options.” 10 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 01
