The Public School Boards' Association of Alberta (PSBAA) is a not-for-profit society, the members of which are school jurisdictions (mostly public school jurisdictions) in Alberta, Canada. The membership criteria for the Association require a school jurisdiction, providing either public education or separate school education, to affirm two characteristics of public education: that it is inclusive as a matter of conviction and by design; and, that it is a deliberate model of a community and, by choice, primarily a model of a civil democratic community. For the PSBAA, "inclusiveness" means that the school jurisdiction is inclusive of every child -- in the classroom, on the school grounds, etc. -- and also inclusive of all in the government of the jurisdiction. (That is, all citizens have a legal right and a moral responsibility to be involved in the government of the jurisdiction.) Thirty-one of forty-one public school jurisdictions in Alberta belong to the Association (January, 2010): one (St. Albert Protestant Separate School District) of seventeen separate school jurisdictions in the province belong to the Association. These jurisdictions are: *(Aspen View Regional Division ) *( Battle River School Division ) *( Black Gold Regional Division ) *( Buffalo Trail Regional Division ) *( Canadian Rockies Public Schools ) *( Chinook’s Edge School Division ) *( Clearview School Division ) *( Edmonton Public Schools ) *( Foothills School Division ) *( Fort McMurray School District ) *( Golden Hills School Division ) *( Grande Prairie School District ) *( Grande Yellowhead Public School Division ) *( Grasslands Regional Division ) *( High Prairie School Division ) *( Medicine Hat School District ) *Northern Gateway Regional Division No. 10 ( Northern Gateway Regional Division ) *( Northlands School Division ) *( Northern Lights School Division ) *( Palliser Regional Division ) *( Parkland School Division ) *( Peace River School Division ) *( Peace Wapiti Regional Division ) *( Pembina Hills Regional Division ) *( Prairie Land Regional Division ) *( Prairie Rose Regional Division ) *( Red Deer Public School District ) *( Rocky view School Division ) *( St. Albert Protestant Separate School District ) (St. Albert’s ‘de facto’ public school jurisdiction) *( Sturgeon School Division ) *( Wetaskiwin Regional Division ) *( Wildrose School Division ) *( Wolf Creek School Division ) The main activities of the Association are: advocacy for public school education; leadership development programs for school trustees, system administrators, school-based leaders, and citizen advocates for public school education; building and maintaining political relations with the provincial government and the provincial public service; and, research and the dissemination of findings significant to the improvement of public education. The Association is host of the Public School Boards Council, a representative assembly for school jurisdictions in Alberta, at which assembly the jurisdictions speak about issues of concern to public school education, and do so without relying on the intermediary of a separate corporate entity. ==History== The Public School Boards' Association of Alberta was founded in 1989, at a convention held in Edmonton, Alberta.
