The British Columbia School Trustees Association

Serving and supporting B.C.’s boards of education since 1905

Boards of education across B.C. are thankful to live, work and learn on traditional and unceded territories in all regions of the province. BCSTA is committed to reconciliation as we support our members in this work.

BCSTA is driven by the following beliefs and goals:

BCSTA is currently reviewing its mission and values and planning an update.

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

News

B.C.’s general election is set for October 19, 2024!
