Trustees are elected in municipal (city) elections to oversee the board’s management of the education budget that is allocated by the province. Trustees sit on committees regarding expelling students, and make decisions about the school board’s budget.
They represent the interests of parents and students in their area. Trustees may act as liaisons and advocates for parents and students with board staff.
You can find out who your trustee is by asking at the school office or checking your school board’s website. Usually the best way to contact your trustee is by phone or email.
