Administrative history
The Board of School Trustees of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, was formed under the Public Schools Act of 1877 (Cap. I, p.1). The Board was composed of four members appointed by the provincial government and three members appointed by the city of Charlottetown. Members of the first Board were: Hon. John Duncan, Chairman; Dr. Richard Johnson, Hon. John Longworth, William E. Dawson, government appointments, as well as A.A. McDonald, Thomas Handrahan and E.J. Hodgson, appointed by the city. Isaac Oxenham was appointed Secretary for the Board.
The city of Charlottetown comprised one school district. The Board was responsible for purchasing and leasing buildings, furnishing schools, contracting with and paying teachers, and the overall general management of the schools. The Board, over the years, was responsible for the following schools: Wesleyan Academy -- renamed Upper Prince Street City School, and later Prince Street School; the Normal School, later known as East Kent Street City School; Spring Park School; Kensington School; West Kent School; St. Patrick's School, renamed Queen Square School; Rochford Square School; Queen Charlotte High School; Birchwood High School; St. Jean's School; Spring Park School and Colonel Gray High School. In 1954 the membership of the Board of School Trustees of Charlottetown was increased to 9 members, 4 government and 5 city council appointments. John Harper was named as first Superintendant of city schools in 1879. T.E. MacNutt was Secretary of the Board from 1 June 1923 until 31 December 1956. Dr. Kenneth A. Parker was Superintendent of Charlottetown schools from 1952 until 1970. The proclamation in 1972 of the 1971 School Act and school amalgamation signalled the end of the Board of School Trustees of Charlottetown. Charlottetown schools then came under the jurisdication of Regional Administrative Unit 3 of the Department of Education along with several rural school districts in Queen's county.
