Meet your trustees!
Over the next three years, British Columbia’s school trustees will be working for you – and with you – to improve student achievement
In the 2008 municipal elections, you voted for the board of education that would represent the best interests of your students and community. Now, as their three-year term of office begins, BCSTA is proud to present all the school trustees of our province to you. We encourage you to take this chance to meet them online – they’ll be very eager over the coming months to work with you on improving student achievement in your community.

BCSTA welcomes questions and comments. Please contact Carolyn Warner, Director of Communications.
Election stats show higher awareness and involvement
More trustee candidates ran in the 2008 municipal election – and there were fewer acclamations, election statistics show.
Reflecting an increased appreciation for the importance of boards of education in positively influencing students’ – and society’s – future, the trustee election statistics reveal that total declared candidates numbered 668, up from 562 in 2005. As well, acclaimed trustees numbered 114, significantly down from the acclaimed number of 129 in 2005.
In other trustee election statistics, overall there were 668 total declared candidates for the 420 trustee seats. Incumbents who ran and were re-elected: 276. New trustees elected: 144. Incumbent trustees who chose not to run: 91. Incumbents who ran but were defeated: 36.
