Board of Trustees
School trustees are an important link between school boards and the public. Trustees are elected every 4 years during municipal elections. Their role is to be available to taxpayers, parents and other community members to address any concerns they have with the public school system.
Each December, the trustees hold internal elections to fill individual board positions, including:
- Board Chairperson
- Vice Chairperson
- Vice Chairperson of the Standing Committee
- Chair of the Education Finance Committee
Meetings
Trustees hold board and committee meetings regularly throughout the year. Review our board and committee meeting schedule and meeting minutes.
