Candidate for Public School Trustee Ward
9 - Davenport
I am seeking your support for re-election as I see the need
for a strong leader for public education with an effective voice
to build a better Toronto District School Board. During my first
term as trustee 2000 – 2003, I worked tirelessly to expose
problems, build facilities including gyms and playgrounds, mobilized
community support, and applied political pressure where it made
the difference. I believe I was a very strong advocate for public
education.
My skills, experience and thorough grasp of public education
in Ontario, make me once again the best candidate for Trustee.
Having been a provincial Liberal candidate in 2003, I remember
my party’s promises including the “Excellence
for all” and “Funding Schools for Success”
that stated, “We will not let schools fail because of
a flawed funding formula. We will create a fair model to reflect
the local needs of diverse communities.” However, Toronto’s
schools continue to suffer the impact of Conservative cuts
to public education that I fought against.
I have an up-close familiarity with the TDSB, its administrative
structure and its senior staff. I am also very much aware
of the needs of the Davenport school community. As a parent,
I am connected to parents across the community who have expressed
their dissatisfaction for the current representation of the
ward at the TDSB.
I will once again bring passion, honesty, intelligence, strong
voice and, above all, leadership to the role of Board Trustee
representing the People of Davenport.
