MSBA at a Glance
What's Happening
School Board By-elections
School board by-elections provide an opportunity for Manitobans to get involved in public education as a candidate or as a voter.
The City Clerk’s Department runs elections for school trustees on behalf of school divisions within the boundaries of the City of Winnipeg. Check with your local school division office for information on becoming a candidate, voter eligibility, and where to vote on election day for residents living outside the City of Winnipeg.
School Vandalism Prevention
The school vandalism prevention program is back again this summer. Residents living near schools in Winnipeg are encouraged to keep an eye open for suspicious activity, including graffiti, arson, on-site use of drugs or alcohol, and signs of break and enter. Incidents can be reported to a dedicated tip line at 204-231-4556. The Corps of Commissionaires security company will respond to calls and a mobile security unit will visit the scene as quickly as possible.
On demand library of MSBA Resources
The Association has a wide variety of online resources that are designed to help trustees of all levels of experience hone their skills. Follow the links from our e-Learning page to access these pre-recorded sessions. And, if it's a refresher course on trusteeship that you're seeking, perhaps it's time to re-read the School Board Member Handbook.
You find these links and more under the Resources tab of our website.
