Hey there, time traveller!

Manitoba’s largest school board is hiring a new leader to oversee the education of about 30,000 students and operations in more than 80 facilities located in and around central Winnipeg.
Earlier this week, Pauline Clarke, chief superintendent and CEO of the Winnipeg School Division, informed trustees about her intention to retire at the end of 2022-23 school year.
Clarke has been WSD chief executive officer for more than 15 years. Prior to her appointment as the chief superintendent, she was a senior division administrator in charge of inner-city education between 1990 and 2008.

Pauline Clarke has been WSD chief executive officer for more than 15 years.
“Throughout her career, Ms. Clarke has focused on creating equitable opportunity for all students. She has served on many community boards and committees reflecting her commitment to meeting the needs of students and families,” states an excerpt from a WSD news release.
Over the last decade, Clarke has served on the Manitoba education department’s attendance task force, premier’s advisory council on education and poverty, and “Winnipeg Promise Steering Committee,” among numerous board positions.
The division opened Children of the Earth High School and Niji Mahkwa School, both of which provide Indigenous culture and language lessons alongside academic instruction, under her leadership.
A news release also touts the role Clarke played in developing partnerships to launch both a comprehensive concussion protocol and aerospace career education programs in WSD.
In 2005, Clarke was recognized by the YWCA as Winnipeg’s Woman of Distinction for her contributions to public education. She also became a recipient of the Order of Manitoba in 2012.
Clarke, who was not made available for an interview Friday, is capping off her career after managing WSD throughout the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and celebrating the division’s recent 150th anniversary.
The chief superintendent earned $273,519 in 2021, according to Manitoba’s most recent report on public-sector salaries.
