Trustees play an important role in the public education system through governance, advocacy and leadership. Our newly elected Board of Trustees will help shape our Board’s future and support our shared commitment to student achievement and well-being.
Trustees will be sworn in at our Inaugural Board meeting in November.
Congratulations and welcome to our new Board members. On behalf of YRDSB, we look forward to our continued collaboration in service of our students, staff, families and communities.
