School Board Governance and Operations

On September 1, 2026, amendments to the Education Act, as outlined in An Act to Remove Politics and Ideology from Classrooms and Amend the Education Act, 2026 (formerly Bill 25), came into effect. Work is underway to update the Trustees' Handbook to reflect new provincial legislation.
