- Contact your Trustee
- View the list of current TDSB Trustees. Trustees are elected to represent the constituents (voters, parents, and students) in their Ward. You can contact your Trustee by phone or email, or attend your local Ward Council meeting. Ward Council meetings provide an opportunity for parent representatives from schools in the ward to meet with their local school trustee to discuss issues of common concern. Ward council meetings are also an opportunity for the school trustee to inform parents about matters under consideration by the Board and gather parent feedback.
