Purpose and Parameters 

  1.  To provide the Board with an opportunity to have a ‘face’ and a presence at each school:
    • To participate in school activities as requested or invited  by the school                                           
    • To see and hear from members of the school community as decisions by the Board are put into practice in the school community.
  2. Trustees would like to make it clear that the role of Trustee is not intended to undermine or supersede the role of the principal, PAC Chair, or other staff.   A Trustee Liaison does not interfere with:
    • The day to day operations of the school
    • The defined process for resolution of parent or others’ concerns as outlined in Policy 6240, or
    • Other processes for discussing concerns by staff. 
  3. Attendance at school events by the Trustee Liaison would vary in detail from school to school, and this would be clearly defined through discussion with the school principal, and possibly other school groups, as is deemed appropriate by the principal.
  4. Trustees will also be clear that as an individual Trustee, they have no authority.  Issues or questions will be dealt with through usual processes, and can then be brought to the Board if appropriate, for Board consideration.  A decision by the Board would lead to direction to staff to develop a course of action.
  5. In summary, the role of Trustee Liaison is intended to strengthen the bond and further communications between schools and the Board of School Trustees in a manner that demonstrates the work of Boards while clearly respecting the role and authority of school administrators and staff.
