CLICK HERE for the official list of people running for school trustee positions in the Qualicum School District.
The Board of Education makes decisions about how limited education funding is spent, what priorities the district pursues, how policies affect students and schools, and how our community's needs are represented to the provincial government.
These decisions can influence everything from classroom supports and specialized programs to transportation, school boundaries, facilities, student services and opportunities available to students.
Before voting, take some time to learn about the candidates running in your area, their experience, their priorities and their vision for public education.
