It is almost the end of another busy calendar year. Most school
boards have now sworn in their newly elected trustees, and trustees
have determined who will chair their meetings. Accordingly, we
thought that it might be the perfect time to review the
responsibilities of school board trustees.
In the next Morning Recess webinar on Thursday, January
22, 2015, Nadya Tymochenko and Gillian Tuck Kutarna will
discuss the responsibilities that Trustees have, when they have
authority and when they do not, for what purposes they may use
their authority, and what impact, if any, Bill 8 might have on
Trustees specifically and the education sector generally. The Bill
amends the Ombudsman Act to give authority to the
Ombudsman to investigate complaints from anyone in the community
and to make recommendations to school boards, which must be shared
with the Minister of Education and may be shared with the
Premier.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
