SD72 Board Chairperson Kat Eddy from Campbell River has been elected president of the association, a branch of the BC School Trustees Association (BCSTA). 

Eddy said she’s committed to working closely with the BCSTA to ensure Vancouver Island’s priorities are heard and reflected in provincial advocacy. 

“Together, we will continue to raise the profile of our region and make sure the voices of our Island students, families, and communities are represented in the broader conversation about public education in British Columbia.” 

The association represents school boards across Vancouver Island and helps advocate for public education and student success across the region. 

Eddy will work alongside the BCSTA to ensure the Island school districts are heard at the provincial level.
