To correct imbalances in enrollment, the board is changing some school boundaries in the 2020s. The Pines Senior Public School and Clarke High School in Newcastle are to be replaced with a new K–12 school building on a different site. A new school is to open in the Northglen neighborhood of Bowmanville in September 2025. The Ontario Ministry of Education has also approved funding for a new elementary school in Millbrook.

Trustees The board has 13 members: ten elected trustees, one First Nations appointed trustee, and two student trustees.
