Although the power of school board trustees has eroded over the years, they still have an important role as locally elected representatives. Here is a brief paragraph about their duties from ontarioschooltrustees.org
“A trustee’s role is to maintain a focus on student achievement, well-being and equity and to participate in making decisions that benefit the board’s entire jurisdiction while representing the interests of their constituents. Trustees must also communicate the views and decisions of the board back to their constituents.”
