The Langley School District has recently come through a significant funding challenge and requires a strong, seasoned leader in its new Secretary-Treasurer to oversee the recovery and set the District on a course for sustainability. The building blocks for the recovery are in place and solutions are being implemented. The opportunity remains for someone to create a long-standing legacy for future generations of Langley learners.
