Size
In terms of student population and school count, the CBE is over twice the size of the other major school district board in Calgary, the Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD), which teaches mainly, but not exclusively, Catholic students. The other two districts based in the city (both Franchophone) are a tiny fraction of the size of the CBE (with only a handful of schools each). In terms of land mass, the CBE is the smallest of the four districts based in Calgary, as its territory is limited to municipal limits of Calgary (although it's area is only slightly smaller than that of the CCSD). Historically, as the city limits have grown, the CBE's boundries have grown with in sync. All of the land mass covered by the CBE overlaps that which is covered by the other three districts. The Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) is the Catholic separate school board in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. ...
The CBE operates 215 schools, for grades K-12. Non-adult student enrollment was 96,931 as of September 2005. The operating budget was $790 million for the 2005/2006 fiscal year.
Governance
 Statues by Mario Armengol outside CBE administration building are a local landmark A group of seven elected trustees run the CBE. Each trustee represents two wards in the city. They are elected every three years, in the regular municipal election. In the election, Calgary voters can only vote for a trustee to one (not both) of the two main school boards. The public (CBE) and Catholic (CCSD) systems operate independently of each other, and are both under the direct authority of the provincial government of Alberta.

It offers early, and late adoption programs. Francophone (french speaking) families will often use this, but, depending on where they live, they can instead send their children to a publicly funded school run by the francophone public school board for the region, which is independent of the CBE.

In 2003 the CBE opened the board's only all-female school, Alice Jamieson Girls' Academy. In the same year, over the board's objections, the Calgary Girls' School (CGS) public charter school was also opened; but as a charter school, CGS is run independently of the CBE. Both schools teach grades 4-9, and are founded on the premise that females learn differently than boys, and will under-perform for social reasons, when in the presence of male peers. So far, there are no all-male public schools in Calgary. 2003 (MMIII) is a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
