According to the New Brunswick District Education Council website, starting in 2009, each council in the province has a student representative appointed by the Minister of Education. Student trustee votes are counted but student trustees can’t attend in-camera meetings. Students can join education council subcommittees, vote across many issues, and serve in one-year terms. They are excluded from closed meetings at which discussion of personnel, including Superintendent reviews, takes place.
