The Board of Yellowknife Education District No. 1 is the longest serving publicly elected school board in the Northwest Territories . Current board members continue a 65 year tradition that recognizes excellence and the critical importance of public education in Yellowknife .

Seven publicly elected officials serve as YK1 Trustees. The Board plays a key role in the continued success of the district and the 2000 students it serves. Accountability, strategic thinking, financial responsibility, and commitment are among the strengths of this dedicated group.

Strategic thinking, commitment and financial accountability are just some of the key ingredients that our Trustees bring to YK1. Today's Trustees serve six unique public schools in Yellowknife and provide quality educational services to over 2000 students.

During their time 'in office', Trustees attend monthly board meetings and participate in regularly scheduled board-level committees meetings. In addition, board members make every effort to increase their awareness and understanding of community concerns and school-based issues by attending monthly Parent Advisory Council meetings, public gatherings and community events.

Yellowknife Education District No. 1 Trustees play a vital role in the continued success of the District. These individuals lead with diligence and sound judgment, always with the best interests of students at heart. YK1 policy makers guide the next generation into the future and do their part to contribute to a strong community and a well functioning society.
