Administrative history
The role of the trustee originated in the General Education Act of 1811. The new Education Act of 1865 established the school board districts, which were further divided into sections. Each school section had a board of trustees that was responsible for the operation of the school. The trustees were elected for three year terms by the ratepayers of the section, and reported to the district board of school commissioners. The duties of the trustees included: maintaining school property and facilities, hiring and overseeing the teachers, conducting meetings with the ratepayers, and filing returns with the inspector. The role of the board of trustees gradually depleted by the 1940's and 1950's as the municipal school boards took over their responsibilites.
