Local Government Week

Back to Search
Purple background with swoosh

Local Government Week is October 16 to 20!

School board trustees are the oldest form of elected representation in Ontario. Since 1807, generations of community-minded citizens have made decisions on behalf of local, publicly funded schools, building the foundation of our system today.

There are different kinds of trustees in Ontario – More than 320 publicly elected English school board trustees, around 20 appointed Indigenous trustees, appointed school authority/hospital board trustees, and dozens of student trustees.

Our Board is comprised of ten elected Trustees, in addition to one First Nations Appointed Trustee, and two Student Trustees. In consultation with administrators and school communities, School Board Trustees approve policies, priorities, and budgets within the framework of provincial legislation. Collectively, they collaborate with school communities to create our multi-year strategic plan for student achievement and well-being, they hold the Board accountable for meeting provincial and Board policies and they ensure that funding is spent in keeping with the Board budget.

Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of Board Trustees at KPR on our website here.

For more information on Local Government Week, and the important role of Trustees, please visit the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association website or follow the social media hashtag #LocalGovWeek
