Student Trustees

The Limestone District School Board has established three positions for Student Trustees to provide for the interests of students within its school system. One Student Trustee is elected to represent urban, one Student Trustee is elected to represent rural schools, and one Student Trustee is elected to represent Indigenous students to ensure accurate representation for all secondary students in the board.  
The Student Trustee position provides for the active involvement of students in their education and allows them to provide greater insight into student activities, programs and needs. This important role also encourages more student involvement in the district’s governance activities, and a greater awareness and understanding of mutual issues between and among the Board, school staff and students.
One Student Trustee is elected from our rural schools (Ernestown Secondary School, Granite Ridge Education Centre, Napanee District Secondary School, North Addington Education Centre and Sydenham High School). Another Student Trustee is elected from our urban schools (Bayridge Secondary School, Frontenac Secondary School, Kingston Secondary School, Loyalist Collegiate & Vocational Institute, and La Salle Secondary School). Students enrolled in the Secondary Virtual School (SVS) are eligible in participate in the elections for Student Trustee, and would represent the position (Rural or Urban) according to their home school. A third Student Trustee is elected to represent Indigenous students in the board.

Student Trustees participate in voting of the Board of Trustees, however, their votes are non-binding.
OSTA-AECO and OPSBA Student Trustee Handbook provides Student Trustees and
Trustees of the Board with information to fully understand the requirements of the student trustee role.
