Roles and Responsibilities of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board Trustee

Sudbury Catholic District School Board Trustees, as representatives of the Sudbury Catholic Community must ensure that the mission of Catholic Education, as part of the broader mission of the Church if fulfilled.  They must also honour a set of additional expectations that have been set for them by the Church, by the Catholic Community and by the traditional understanding of the Catholic Trustees’ role and the by the Ministry’s Education Act.

For the Sudbury Catholic District School Board Trustee, the Church’s mission to proclaim, teach and witness to the Gospel finds its particular expression in the mission of the Catholic School.  The end result being that the mission of the Catholic School is to evangelize youth so that they will become not only well-developed persons and good citizens but also faithful Disciples of Christ and “witness to the faith.”

Education in Ontario is a shared responsibility between the province and local school districts. Publicly elected school trustees ensure that the local community has a strong voice in the education of its children. Each trustee assumes a liaison role with a number of schools in the District.

Sudbury Catholic Schools remains committed to our mandate that through a Christ-centred milieu, each student will strive to meet their personal goals and will become a leader of tomorrow.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to become involved in your child’s education. The Board of Trustees are elected officials who serve students, parents and taxpayers. Board meetings are held throughout the school year and are open to the public. I urge you to continually visit our website where board meetings are posted and make every effort to attend.
