This document outlines key considerations for the governance and decision-making processes of the First Nations Education Authority (FNEA), addressing critical issues such as the implications of a council member’s departure, consensus-based decision-making versus voting, and ensuring robust communication with Participating First Nations. It also discusses the accountability of directors to their communities and considers optional responsibilities such as professional development, bulk purchasing, and service sharing. The aim is to enhance educational governance and support responsive education systems for First Nations.
