The composition or membership of SEAC is a key component of Regulation 464/97.  (See Appendix 1 for a complete copy of the Regulation.)

To be eligible for nomination as a SEAC member the nominee must be:

  • At least 18 years old
  • A Canadian Citizen
  • A resident of the school board or authority jurisdiction
  • An elector or tax payer for the school board

A SEAC member cannot be an employee of the school board or authority.
