Board Advocacy

The Board of Education meets with key educational leaders and municipal and provincial ministries/authorities to raise awareness about policies and decisions that impact students and their learning. Trustees advocate for a first-class public education system for all students and our local communities. Below are links to correspondence and advocacy efforts from our local Board of Education.

Our Board of Education is also a member of the British Columbia School Trustees Association (BCSTA), who represent 60 school boards across British Columbia. BCSTA is dedicated to amplifying priority K-12 issues, with advocacy initiatives designed to push for meaningful changes and maintain momentum on critical issues. These efforts significantly influence government policies and decisions affecting K-12 students. View the BCSTA's Advocacy webpage for recent advocacy correspondence.
