A Student Trustee is a secondary student in DCDSB who is elected by their peers on the Student Senate to sit on the Board of Trustees as a non-voting member. Student representation on the Board provides opportunities for student interests to be heard and considered at the Board table. Having Student Trustee views shared at Board meetings informs decisions made by members of the Board.
Durham Catholic District School Board has two Student Trustees representing the interest of students. A Student Trustee assumes office on August 1st of the year they are elected. The term of office ends on July 31st of the year following their election (i.e., a two-year term).
