The British Columbia School Trustees Association
BCSTA is the non-partisan provincial advocacy organization representing the 60 democratically elected boards of education across British Columbia. As the singular voice for governance in public education for nearly 120 years, we know that education matters to communities across the province and it matters to you.
Boards of education across B.C. are thankful to live, work and learn on traditional territories across the province. BCSTA is committed to reconciliation as we support our members in this work.
BCSTA is driven by the following beliefs and goals:
A high-quality public education system is the foundation of a democratic society
Improving student achievement is the key work of locally elected boards of education
The interests of B.C. students are best met through local decision-making with an engaged community
Providing a strong, representative voice for boards of education throughout the province is important
Helping to build effective boards by providing development, communications and support services
