Student achievement first. Keep our focus on literacy, numeracy, graduation and making sure students leave our schools ready for their next step.

Schools that keep pace with growth. Secure sites and advocate for school funding before new neighbourhoods fill up. That means working with the Township early in the planning process.

Recruiting and keeping good staff. Recruit strong teachers, education assistants and support staff, mentor new teachers, and give people the support they need to build a career here.

Every student included. Support students with diverse abilities and additional needs to learn alongside their peers, with the staffing, resources and individual support that make inclusion work.

Safe, welcoming schools. Make physical safety and bullying prevention priorities, alongside counselling and mental health supports that help students stay connected to school.

Careful stewardship of public dollars. Deliver balanced budgets, account for the ongoing costs of operating new schools, and release budget reports before board votes so families can understand the decisions.

Following through on reconciliation. Turn the district’s commitments to Indigenous students and families into clear actions, with progress we can measure and report.
