Roles and Responsibilities - School Boards and Individual Trustees: (refer to download section for full document - OPSBA Good Governance Guide)

A school board is responsible for governing the school system in the best interests of all students in its jurisdiction and on behalf of the communities it serves. The school board, as a corporate body, is the legislative source of all decisions, and individual trustees are granted no authority through the Education Act. Unlike provincial and federal parliaments, school board members do not vote according to an official affiliation, nor are there governing trustees and opposition trustees. Both the board as a whole and individual trustees have roles and responsibilities.

Key Messages for Voters: (full document in download section)

Where trustees are elected, the process is governed by the Education Act and the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (MEA). School board trustees are elected every four years during municipal and school board elections. Voters must choose which of the four school board systems they will support, subject to certain restrictions. This means that each voter can elect a trustee to only one of the four school board systems in a jurisdiction: English public, English Catholic, French public, or French Catholic. Voters who own residential property in more than one school board district may vote in each of the school board districts in which property is held.
