ize

Edmonton Public Schools operates 197 schools. The operating budget is $700,394,000 million for the 2007-2008 fiscal year.

Board of Trustees

A group of nine elected trustees oversee the district. They are elected every three years, in the regular municipal election. In the election, Edmonton voters can only vote for a trustee to one (not both) of the two major school boards (EPSB and the separate Catholic system). The public (EPSB) and Catholic systems operate independently of each other, and are both under the direct authority of the provincial government of Alberta.
