English-language school boards function differently

“The small size and low density of the English-speaking
population mean that all stakeholders must cooperate, rather
than work in isolation from each other, to serve the population
more efficiently and effectively. Collaboration and dialogue
among the stakeholders is needed to identify clearly mutual
problems and to identify or provide the appropriate agencies to
solve the problems.” (ABEE, 2010)
