2018 Elections Information

Trustees are empowered under the Education Act to set policy for the operation of all public schools under the Boards jurisdiction, and are an important link between the school system and the community.

Trustees are elected during municipal elections every four years and are directly accountable to the community.

Under the Education Act, trustees are mandated to:

  • promote student achievement and well-being
  • deliver effective and appropriate educational programs
  • develop, maintain and monitor effectiveness of Board policies
  • develop, communicate and review annually a Strategic Plan
