What do School Board Trustees do?
Alberta School Boards help shape the future of local communities by governing the education of young people. The Provincial Government, through the Minister of Education, grants School Boards the independent authority to make decisions regarding the direction and quality of local public education. Accountability to the public is entrenched through the election of local School Board Trustees every four years. The school board election is October 20, 2025.
School Board responsibilities – it is up to School Boards to ensure all students in the community receive a quality education. Specific School Board responsibilities include:
Communicating, informing and involving parents, staff and the community at large in School Board decisions and activities.
- Adopting an annual budget that achieves jurisdiction priorities
- Setting goals and priorities for the jurisdiction that achieve provincial education standards, meet the needs of student and reflect the community’s wishes
- Making and enforcing policies that set out standards and expectations regarding the actions of administration, teachers and students
- Lobbying the municipal and provincial governments on education issues of importance to the jurisdiction
- Adjudicating policy or decision appeals
- Hiring and evaluating the Superintendent
