CBE Governance Earns National Recognition

The Calgary Board of Education is the first public school district to receive the Conference Board of Canada’s National Award for excellence in governance.

The 2007 Spencer Stuart National Award in Governance for a Public Sector Organization was awarded February 7, 2007 in Toronto, Ontario.  This prestigious award recognizes the CBE Board of Trustees for having demonstrated a commitment to excellence in governance by successfully implementing governance innovations.  The proof of success for the judges was the superior performance of the school board system and the contribution of the governance model to the long-term success of public education in Calgary. 

For Calgarians, this achievement means their public education system is in good hands and their interests are being well served by their elected trustees.

Student learning is at the centre of the Board’s policy-governance model.  Through their focus on the Ends Statements, the Board has clearly and powerfully set out its expectations for the CBE.  The Board’s focus on the Ends and the continuous monitoring of progress towards them are yielding outstanding results in student learning outcomes.  And that is the real test of the Calgary Board of Education as a world-class school district.
