Information session invites candidates to learn more about running for SCDSB trustee
Members of the public who are interested in running as a Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB) trustee in the upcoming municipal election are invited to an information session on June 6, 2022.
Date: Monday, June 6
Time: 6 to 7 p.m.
Location: Virtual Zoom meeting
To register for the information session, please contact Jennifer Henry, Executive Assistant to the Board, by email at [email protected] or by phone at 705-734-6363 ext. 11231. A link to join the information session will be shared with individuals once they are registered. Registration for the information session will close at noon on June 6.
This session, led by SCDSB staff, will provide an overview of Board governance and how Board committees operate.
The event will also:
- outline the role and responsibilities of trustees, including the time commitment required
- explain the distinction between Board governance and day-to-day operations

Individuals who register for the information session are invited to email questions regarding the role of trustee to Jennifer Henry in advance, so that responses can be provided at the session.
Trustees are elected during municipal elections every four years and are directly accountable to the community. The next municipal election is October 24. The new Board of Trustees will serve from November 15, 2022 to November 14, 2026.
Individuals interested in running for trustee should submit their nomination to the lead municipal office, which is the municipality with the higher population of electors. Nominations may be submitted until August 19, 2022. Visit our election page for more information on how to run, who is eligible to run and the process.
For more information on the role of trustees, visit the Ontario Education Services Corporation election website.
