What Do Trustees Do?

Printer-friendly version

British Columbia is a large province with many communities, each having different priorities, needs and unique educational requirements. British Columbians elect their Boards of Education to improve student achievement according to the diverse needs of these communities. As locally elected representatives, the trustees on these boards best understand their respective communities’ particular strengths, challenges and demands.


Please refer to BCSTA's Successful Governance: A Resource Manual for Boards of Education for comprehensive details of boards’ roles and responsibilities.
