The twelve trustees of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board are elected for a four-year term through the municipal election process. The Board also has two student trustees. The current Board of Trustees was elected in October 2022 and was scheduled to serve until November 2026.
Currently, as of June 27, 2025, the OCDSB has been placed under supervision by the Minister of Education. While under supervision, all decisions that would normally be made by trustees will now be made by the appointed Supervisor, Robert Plamondon.
