New Portage La Prairie School Division superintendent Todd Cuddington is building relationships through meetings with the PCRC and Red River College.

Cuddington explains the importance of these meetings.

"I think everything comes down to education and ultimately our goal as educators is to develop good citizens for our community who, at one point, will be employers or employees themselves."

Cuddington notes he likes to share all the great things going on the in school division, adding there have been many in the short time he's been in the position.

"We've got great leaders in our schools and fantastic teachers and I like to talk about those things to people because sometimes teachers don't toot their own horn enough and right now it's important that teachers get the recognition they deserve."

He says he's had a number of great conversations with people and is curious to learn about recent initiatives which they may have started and what interests them in their fields.
