Meetings

The Board of Trustees sets policy through the decisions it makes at public meetings.

Individual trustees have the right to speak and vote on matters presented at Board meetings. An individual trustee may wish the Board to take action on a particular topic and can present a motion on the subject to the Board. The motion may be discussed after it is seconded by another trustee. Action will be taken only if approved by the majority of the trustees.

The decisions made by a school board at its meetings set the overall directions and policy for the school division. The school board employs administrators to see that this direction is implemented in an effective and efficient manner and for the day-to-day operation of WSD.

Following Procedural By-Law 1263, regular meetings of the Board are to be held during the first and third weeks in the months during the school year at 7:00 p.m. Division parents, residents, students and stakeholders may appear before the Board to make a presentation.
