About the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board
The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board oversees Catholic education in Windsor and the surrounding County of Essex, in Ontario, Canada. It provides administration to a total of 50 schools which provide classes from kindergarten to grade 12, where Catholic teachings permeate all areas of the curriculum. The board's budget, spending and activities are directed by trustees who are elected for four-year terms, coincident with municipal elections in Ontario. Five trustees are elected to represent sections of Windsor, and four represent areas of the County. Two student trustees are also elected through by-elections of the Student Senate to represent the student body, and the clergy is also represented through a Board Chaplain.
