About School Board Trustees..

The UGDSB has ten elected trustee members who represent the municipalities within the counties of Dufferin and Wellington. Trustees are accountable to UGDSB communities and to the province for continuous improvement in the level of student achievement in their schools.

School board trustees hold no individual authority. Individual trustees are given no authority through the Education Act. Once the Board of Trustees has voted, individual trustee members are legally bound by the majority decision, regardless of whether they supported it during debate or voted in opposition.

Trustees are responsible for setting board policy and priorities. They are for responsible ensuring that the board’s funding allocation is spent in keeping with the board’s budget and within the framework of provincial legislation and policy.
