Size

EPS operates 199 schools. The operating budget was $636 million for the 2005-2006 fiscal year.

Governance

A group of nine elected trustees run the EPS. They are elected every three years, in the regular municipal election. In the election, Edmonton voters can only vote for a trustee to one (not both) of the two major school boards (EPS and the separate Catholic system). The public (EPS) and Catholic systems operate independently of each other, and are both under the direct authority of the provincial government of Alberta.
