We are very excited to welcome you to the 2023/24 school year! We trust this will be another incredible year of learning and growing in the Fort McMurray Catholic Schools family. 

As your Board of Trustees we are charged with the responsibility to govern the affairs of the school authority under the Education Act, and we are advocates for students and families to ensure education is given a high priority.
 

Additional roles:

• using available resources to set strategic priorities
• developing effective governance policies and practices
• driving provincial policy changes
• ensuring financial transparency
• ensuring parents’ voices, students’ needs and school community thinking remain at the forefront in Alberta’s education system
   

School boards exercise leadership through governance in three areas: fiduciary leadership; strategic leadership and generative leadership.

If you have any questions about the roles, responsibilities, and direction of your Board of Trustees we recommend you visit our website (https://www.fmcschools.ca/board-of-trustees) or contact Board Members. 
 

We highly recommend getting involved with your School Councils. School Councils are the first point of contact and an essential link between schools, families, and the Board of Trustees.
