Serving Wards 9 and 10 - Mississauga, CA
DPCDSB Trustee
Additional Information
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board is, as all publically funded Catholic school boards in Ontario, governed by a Board of Trustees. Trustees serve as system leaders of publically funded education in their communities and province. Trustees are elected by Catholic school ratepayers every four (4) years during municipal elections. The current 11 trustees have been elected to serve from December 1, 2018 to November 30, 2022. Two (2) student trustees, elected by their peers annually, also sit with the board in a non-voting capacity.
The Board of Trustees, through board policies, has an established process in the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board for addressing concerns raised by ratepayers. Trustees facilitate the concerns of ratepayers by directing them to relevant Board staff that address questions of families and ratepayers’ concerns. The Education Act requires school board trustees to entrust the day-to-day management of the board to its staff, through the Director of Education.
School board trustees, as individuals, do not have authority to make decisions or take action on behalf of the board. They are members of the board. The Board of Trustees as a whole, exercises authority and makes decisions and does so in the interests of all students of the board. Individual trustees have no independent decision-making authority over the board, schools or its employees.
