What are your election issues:
As a lifelong Delta resident, Delta School District parent and trustee, I have a vested interest in the Delta School District.
The Achieving for Delta team has committed to ensuring student mental and physical health and wellbeing, enhancing inclusivity for all students, putting Delta students first, and keeping students safe. I believe these issues are in alignment with the Delta School District’s Vision 2030, a vision I strongly support.
Achieving for Delta School trustee candidates are committing to a plan to keep students safe in schools and in the community. It is often the students without a strong support network or those experiencing challenges related to mental health, food security, and a lack of stable housing who are more vulnerable to making choices that could lead to their safety being compromised.
Keeping students safe is about creating inclusive environments and support networks to help them focus on their education and make positive life choices. A positive working relationship between the board of trustees, school staff and community partners is vital to ensure student safety and success. I value the ongoing commitment from all education and community partners to maintain student-focused, open and respectful communication, and a shared goal of the ongoing enhancement of the student experience.
The Achieving for Delta team includes candidates with diverse perspectives and experience, who are all united by Mayor George Harvie’s vision to move Delta forward. The only way we can achieve our goals and deliver significant investments for Delta is with the entire Achieving for Delta team elected to council and school board.
