The Board of Education, in accordance with the School Act, is a policy-making body whose primary function is to engage their communities in building and maintaining a school system that reflects local priorities, values and expectations all towards improving student achievement.

The Campbell River Board of Education holds regular public meetings on the 3rd Tuesday of each month during the school year, starting at 7:30 p.m., unless otherwise noted. All members of the community are welcome to attend.

The Board of Education meets with key educational leaders and municipal and provincial ministries and authorities to raise awareness about policies and decisions that impact students and learning.

In 2013, the Board of Education restructured its policies to better support the very important governance function of the board, clarify the roles of the board and administration, and to establish a clear delegation of responsibilities to administration.
