SETTING STUDENTS UP FOR SUCCESS

“Public Education is a cornerstone of democracy. It provides opportunity for all students – male or female, rich or poor, able or challenged to access the knowledge and skills they will need to become competent members of society. A school trustee must be Public Education’s strongest advocate. If re-elected, I will continue to work against further erosion of our classrooms and support services. I will continue to work to foster strong leadership opportunities. I will continue to work diligently to create an atmosphere of trust and hope.
