Our Mission

The mission of the BCSTA is to support and advocate for effective public boards of education in British Columbia.

BCSTA Policy Book

Our mission is driven by the following beliefs:

  1. A high-quality public education system is the foundation of a democratic society.
  2. Improving student achievement is the key work of locally elected boards of education.
  3. The interests of B.C students are best met through local decision-making with an engaged community.
  4. Providing a strong, representative voice for boards of education throughout the province is important.
  5. Helping to build effective boards of education by providing development, communications and support services continues to be a vital role.
