Membership

School Board Membership

CESBA membership is open to publicly funded school boards across Ontario (English public, English Catholic, French public and French Catholic). We currently have about 60 member school boards. Membership is at the school board level and rates are determined by the overall budget of each school board. A&CE staff of a paid member board do not require individual membership to access our events and resources.

Membership is renewed annually. Information about renewal is sent out each year to all current members in good standing. Questions about renewing your membership or updating member information in our membership database can be sent to info@cesba.com

We are committed to supporting adult and continuing education program initiatives and advocating for the vital work of our membership.

Full membership is available to all Ontario public school boards that deliver adult, alternative and continuing education programs.
