Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees is made up of ten trustees and two student trustees. Board Trustees are elected every four years during the municipal election. The last election was held in October 2022. When elected, Trustees become members of our school board. They provide an important link between local communities and the school board, bringing the issues and concerns of their constituents to board discussions and decision making.

Our Trustees are accountable to our school community for the decisions made by the Board. They are available and accessible to the public to address concerns from the community with respect to Board policies and procedures. They also act as ambassadors for the system, officiating and speaking at school openings and events. Trustees are ombudspersons for students and community members, advocating a wide range of issues regarding Catholic education.

Student Trustees

Student trustees are elected by their peers on an annual basis. Every school board in Ontario elects Student Trustees to represent the voice of their fellow students. The Student Trustees offer a student perspective during regular Board meetings, and serve to provide insight on how the Board can best meet the need of students. They are advised by a council made up of the student council presidents of each OCSB high school.

If you need to share a concern with your Student Trustee, email them. The Board looks forward to the student voice that these new Student Trustees will bring to the Boardroom table.

Direct your school support to vote for your OCSB Trustee

One of the greatest rights we have in Canada is to “have your say.” In Ontario, we are all given the freedom of choice in choosing our Mayor, City Councillor, and School Board Trustee. Ensuring you have a voice in in the upcoming election means ensuring you are on the voter’s list. And, by ensuring your school support is directed to the “English Separate” school board, you will be able to cast your ballot for an OCSB Trustee.

When you designate yourself as an “English Separate” school supporter, you help foster a strong political voice through your elected school Trustee. Trustees develop and implement recommendations for educational programs, budgets, and policies that govern the Board’s operation. Your Trustee provides an important link between your community and the school board, bringing your issues and concerns forward to board discussions and decision making.
