The Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) is a non-profit, nonpartisan, voluntary membership organization, offering board development opportunities, advocacy, and services. The SSBA provides leadership and support for our members as a unified voice of Saskatchewan’s 27 democratically elected public, Catholic and Francophone school boards.
Education is a shared responsibility in Saskatchewan. The education system serves students best when there is meaningful collaboration and engagement in decision-making regarding funding, investment, accountability processes, setting provincial priorities, and resolving issues.
Locally elected school boards have a vital role in serving Saskatchewan’s publicly funded education system. The longest lasting and most fundamental responsibility of school boards has been to bring the voice of the public to publicly funded education.
In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, operating on treaty territories and the Métis homeland, the work of the SSBA and its member boards remains deeply rooted in the belief that every child in Saskatchewan, regardless of where they live or their personal circumstances, must have the resources and supports they need to achieve and succeed. Collectively, the people who serve on Saskatchewan’s boards of education are committed to serving children, youth, parents, families, and communities.
Our Vision
A strong publicly funded education system that supports, promotes, and provides opportunities for each student to achieve their full potential regardless of where they live in the province and their personal circumstances.
Our Mission
The SSBA represents and supports the collective voice of locally elected school boards by providing leadership in advocacy, board development and high-quality services.
