District School Board

Board Level Icon     District School Boards oversee the School LAND Trust program by establishing policies, timelines, and training for Board Members, School Community Councils, and District Liaisons. They ensure program compliance and fiscal responsibility by monitoring expenditures, evaluating Final Reports, and reviewing School LAND Trust Plans and Council Signature Forms to confirm that all schools meet funding requirements.

 

 

  • Establish Clear Policies and Timelines for School Community Councils (SCC's): 
    • This includes setting a timeline for SCC elections, managing conflicts of interest, defining program deadlines, outlining district monitoring procedures, and establishing how SCC plans should align with district academic priorities.
  • Conduct Annual Training:
    • Ensure that School Board members, School Community Council members, and District Liaisons receive thorough training on their roles and responsibilities within the School LAND Trust program.
  • Actively Oversee Program Implementation and Monitor Spending:
    • Regularly review how School LAND Trust funds are being used to verify that schools are meeting program requirements and utilizing the funds effectively to support student success.
  • Receive and Evaluate Annual Final Reports:
    • Final Reports are carefully reviewed to assess the implementation of the program and how School LAND Trust funds were spent and the impact on student outcomes.
  • Review and Approve School LAND Trust Plans and Council Signature Forms:
    • Ensure that all submitted School LAND Trust Plans and Council Signature Forms comply with program regulations and are aligned with the district's overall academic priorities before approving the plan. 

A comprehensive timeline has been created to guide program activities throughout the year and can be accessed here. District School Boards are required to follow this timeline to ensure all program requirements are met. Please review the dates carefully to stay informed about key responsibilities associated with your role in the School LAND Trust program.
