School District 57 will be holding information sessions in Prince George, Mackenzie and McBride for people interested in running for school trustee in the Oct. 15 election.

“School board trustees represent the public and advocate for public education in their community. While members of the board act as representatives of their constituency, their primary job is to participate in policy making and strategic planning in the interests of the district’s students,” a statement issued by the school district on Tuesday said. “The sessions are designed to provide a brief overview of the board of education and the role that school board trustees play.”
The nomination period for school board trustee candidates runs from 9 a.m. on Aug. 30 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 9. For more information or to download nomination documents, go online to the School District 57 website.
