He will begin his new position at the David Euale start of the upcoming school year in September. "We're very pleased to welcome David to Halton," said Bruce Jones, board chair, in a press release.

Prior to working with the ministry, Euale was the superintendent of education with the Upper Grand District School Board, which serves Wellington and Dufferin counties.

"This will serve Halton well as we strive to reach current goals and set new ones in our continued efforts to support student learning." "I look forward to joining the Halton District School Board team," Euale said, in the release. "The Board is well known for its commitment to student learning, achievement and well-being, as well as its excellent programs and services. I welcome the opportunity to work with Halton's dedicated staff and community to further these goals, and develop new initiatives to support public education in Halton."
