When their membership came due in July, the board made the decision not to renew. Huscroft said that though the BCSTA has traditionally been a voice for all the trustees in the province, a recent shift in mandate saw the association shift from an advocacy to a co-governance role. “We’re not opposed to co-governance, but we believe advocacy is about asking questions and gathering input. They don’t have to be the official opposition, but they should represent the body,” she said. “We don’t mean asking opinions of every one of the 500 members, but there’s only 60 chairs in the whole province. With today’s technology, it’s pretty simple to send out a question, a survey, anything.” According to Huscroft, that simply wasn’t happening.
