My Values
Through conversations across our community I’ve heard clearly that Toronto-Danforth wants a trustee that represents and advances our strongly held community values at the board. These include:
SAFETY & WELLBEING
-
reasonable class sizes for safety and learning
-
reductions in the spread of covid at schools
-
freedom from bullying
-
improved school infrastructure, including improved ventilation and air quality
-
sufficient mental health and special education supports at schools
TRANSPARENCY
Parents and residents deserve to know about:
-
Board decisions and procedures
-
What is happening in our schools
-
Provincial projects, investments and decisions that affect our schools
EQUITY, INCLUSION and SOCIAL JUSTICE
Dismantling structures within the TDSB that further oppression, especially for children and youth who face systemic social, economic, political and institutional barriers to success in our schools.
This includes 2SLGBTQI+ kids, neurodiverse kids, Black, Latinx, Asian and Indigenous kids.
COLLABORATION
Working with trustees, interested groups and other orders of government to advance improvements for our schools.
This includes facilitating strong ties with and across parents, school councils, teachers and education workers.
I firmly believe in the Right to Education Framework developed by People for Education
I fully support:
-
the Campaign for Public Educations municipal & school board election platform
-
The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario’s Building Better Schools Plan
