Getting to Know the Board of Education

Board of Education Meetings

Board of Education meetings take place the second Wednesday of every month from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

What does a Board member do?

The Prairie Valley School Division Board of Education is made up of trustees elected in 10 subdivisions in southeastern Saskatchewan, as well as an 11th member representing the Sakimay First Nation.

Trustees are elected by the voters and ratepayers that support the Prairie Valley School Division. Elections are held in accordance with the Local Government Elections Act. Elections are held every three years in conjunction with municipal elections.

The role of a trustee is to carry out the School Division’s mandate “Leadership in Learning and Life” in order to achieve the mission “To Inspire and Empower One Another” and support the goals set out in the Prairie Valley School Division (Continuous Improvement Plan) Strategic Plan.

What happens at Board meetings?

The Board of Education holds regular meeting of the Board on a monthly basis, every second Wednesday of the month. Special meetings are scheduled as required. Meeting dates are posted on the Prairie Valley School Division website at www.pvsd.ca.
