WQSB Director Mike Dubeau announces retirement

The Western Quebec School Board announced yesterday (March 15) in a press release that Director General Mike Dubeau will be retiring.

Dubeau has held the position since the start of 2017, and previously served in a variety of senior positions with the board, from Director of human resources to Director of technology. Prior to his move to board-level administration in 2008, he worked in several roles for the board, including as principal of Pontiac High School in Shawville.

“Mr. Dubeau has served every position with integrity, fairness, and a clear focus on student success,” the statement reads. “He has been instrumental in his school-level positions in working with and supporting teachers in delivering the highest quality of teaching. Then, in his role as Director of Education, Mr. Dubeau developed and led the school board’s Teacher Induction Program. The program is second to none in the province. As Director General he maintained his role of overseeing the program, working with, developing, and supporting key staff to ensure the highest quality of delivery. As Director General, Mr. Dubeau has been responsible for developing the school board’s key strategic directions and objectives and, with the senior administration team, ensured their implementation through guidance and support.”

The statement also notes that the WQSB is looking to fill the position by June 2023 to ensure a smooth transition.
