The British Columbia School Trustees Association
Serving and supporting B.C.’s boards of education since 1905.
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
The work of a trustee
Trustees engage their communities in building and maintaining a school system that reflects local priorities, values and expectations. Boards are accountable to the people they serve.

Driven by their central purpose, and confirmed by studies across Canada and North America, boards of education are making a positive difference in the lives of our students.
