Trustees

School Board Trustees are elected officials who govern Manitoba's public schools. They serve young Manitobans and the community by assisting to ensure that schools offer programs and services that meet the needs of the community.

The Public Schools Act dictates the duties and powers of the Trustees. This provincial legislation defines their responsibilities and discretionary powers. The Act maintains provincial standards, while allowing the School Board to address the specific needs of our Division.

School Board elections are held every four years in conjunction with municipal elections.

Board of Trustees Committees 2024 – 2025

Similar to the 2022-2023 school year, the Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) Board of Trustees did not appoint individuals to committees for the 2024-2025 school year, with the exception of the Riel-Evate Endowment Fund Committee. Instead, they will work collectively as a team.

The goal is to provide stronger governance and remain agile during rapidly changing circumstances. The hope is that this structure will bring deeper conversations and understanding, more responsive to the needs of the LRSD community, and eliminate duplication of work for our Senior Leadership Team and Support Group.
