About us:
Elected school trustees play a key role a democratic, transparent, responsive and vibrant school system. The Trustee Project provides an ongoing program of support, curricula, training, research, and network building that helps progressively minded school trustees in the implementation of agendas that support thriving public schools. We view a strong healthy public education system as the cornerstone of a democratic society and as we contend with varied and coordinated attacks on public institutions, BC school trustees are an important part of the resistance to privatization and the denigration of the public school system.
Our key strategic goals are to:
- Support BC school trustees to be strong partners in supporting democratic governance of public education in British Columbia
- Build and support a self-sustaining network of BC school board trustees with shared values
The School Trustee Project was formed through a collaboration between the Institute for Public Education and the Center for Civic Governance.
