Trustees Afaq Virk and Merab Ali.
The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is governed by a board of ten elected Trustees, one First Nations Trustee and one Student Trustee.
The Education Act stipulates Board membership will occur through an electoral process and the Municipal Elections Act and its Regulations outline the process and define, by formula, the maximum number of Trustees to be elected in each particular jurisdiction. Municipal elections take place every four years, during which, school Trustees are elected by the electoral group the board represents.
Trustees are local politicians and advocates who represent and address concerns of their broader constituency of students, parents, taxpayers and various interest groups. At the same time Trustees support the work and efforts of all employees and foster a reciprocal relationship with administration in problem solving and meeting the challenges associated with providing world class educational programs and services.
