School Board Elections

Why Catholic Governance Matters

Through the Education Act, Alberta’s legislation has delegated some authority for the governance of education to school boards. As statutory corporations, school boards have obligations to perform and they have been given powers to carry out these tasks.

The citizens of our Wards elect Trustees to govern The Grande Prairie Roman Catholic Separate School Division (Grande Prairie & District Catholic Schools or GPCSD) on their behalf. Trustee elections occur every four years, during the same time as municipal elections.

The role of the Trustee is to be a contributing member of the Board as it carries out its governance mandate in order to achieve the Grande Prairie & District Catholic School’s four-year education plan.

Grande Prairie & District Catholic Schools promotes and encourages its interested citizens to run for the office of elected school board Trustee. The Division is committed to providing an environment that will give all candidates fair access to the electorate.

Becoming a Trustee

Generally, you are eligible to be nominated as a candidate, if on Nomination Day you are:

at least 18 years of age;
a Canadian citizen;
a resident of the Catholic School Division and the Ward they are running in, 6 months before Nomination Day; and of the Roman Catholic Faith.
