The Board’s job is to represent, lead and serve Calgarians and to govern the Calgary Board of Education, one of the largest school boards in Canada. Citizens of Calgary elect trustees through the municipal election every four years.
How the Board Works for Calgary Students
Role of the Board
Trustees guide the CBE through governance, strategy and oversight. They establish priorities, approve budgets and policies, and monitor whether the organization is meeting its commitments to students and families.
Meet the Trustees
Seven elected trustees bring a range of Calgary experiences and community perspectives to the board table. Each trustee works to listen, represent their ward and help guide decisions with students at the center.
Advocacy Priorities
The Board speaks up for public education, student needs and important issues such as funding, learning spaces and the conditions that support success for all learners.
Meetings
Board meetings help the public follow discussions, review reports and understand the decisions that shape the direction of the district.
Correspondence
Learn how the Board receives and reviews correspondence from the public, and how to contact trustees about matters that matter to families and the broader CBE community.
Elections
Find information about school board trustee elections, how trustees are chosen, and what voters should know during the municipal election cycle.
Advocacy
The CBE Board of Trustees is an advocate for public education, for our local school system and student success. In this capacity, the Board of Trustees consults with Calgarians and shares information with MLAs and government – as an individual board – and collectively through the Alberta School Board Association.
Decision Making
The Board of Trustees gathers information from many sources; processes that information, evaluates it and makes a decision to reflect its Mission, Values and priorities. Trustees consider the interests of all the students the CBE serves – not just the interests of a particular school or area
