Cowichan Valley School District Trustee candidate
Website: www.cowichanstudentsfirst.org
Q1. Please tell us a bit about yourself and why you are running.
A: I have spent most of my adult life (actually most of my life period) in schools. My own schooling started with preschool and kindergarten and finished with a couple of degrees in education. I have taught in recreation programs, in private schools and in public schools in three districts. So I would say, for me, education is important, perhaps one of the most important things we can do for our children.
Q2. What is your vision for the school district, and how would getting elected help achieve it?
A: Our public school system is the one way for us to ensure that our children receive the best possible education, taught by some of the best-trained and most professional caring people anywhere. It needs to be supported, not just with political rhetoric, not just with election promises, but with respect, with dialogue and with the understanding that everyone involved want the best possible outcomes. So when I say “students first” , I mean just that.
