Completed Nomination Form and Candidates Questionnaire forms must be submitted by email to parents@albertaschoolcouncils.ca by 5:00 pm on Friday, April 11th, 2025.
Three (3) Virtual Candidate Information sessions with current Board Members will take place - Candidates are required to attend at least one (60 minutes). Connection information will be shared with Candidates.
Wednesday, April 16th at 1:00 p.m. and again at 6:00 p.m. or Thursday, April 24th at 1:00 p.m.
If there are an equal number of, or more, candidates declared for any available position on the Board 15 days prior to the AGM, no additional nominations after this date will be accepted for the available position(s). If there is only one candidate for any available position, the candidate(s) may be elected by acclamation (ASCA Bylaw 6.2).
If there are not enough candidates declared to fill the available positions at 15 days prior to the AGM:
- These positions may only be filled at the AGM by potential “additional” candidates from the ASCA Conference, declaring on Friday or Saturday by 1pm (submitting a full nominations package, including the questionnaire) prior to the Sunday AGM.
- These “additional” candidate’s questionnaire(s) will be posted on the ASCA website by 6 pm Saturday and available to delegates at the start of the Sunday AGM.
- If there are no additional candidates declared at the ASCA Conference to fill available positions, these positions will remain vacant on the day of the AGM and may be filled via by-election or appointment, at the discretion of the Board, at a later time.
* Candidates are required to be present and to verbally accept their nomination at the AGM and are expected to prepare a (brief) speech to address the assembly at the AGM.
A non-profit society, the ASCA is governed by an elected, volunteer board of directors comprised of parents on school councils from across Alberta.
Election of the Board of Directors takes place at the Annual General Meeting each April.
Each year is an opportunity for parents on ASCA Member School Councils to expand their knowledge of Alberta’s education system, and their education advocacy efforts, to a provincial level, by running for a position on the Board of Directors.
We urge Superintendents, Principals, Teachers and parents to actively encourage parents in their school communities to consider this opportunity, and we ask that the information on this page regarding the Nominations Process, candidate eligibility, and what it means to be a Director, be shared broadly.
