Key Values
Relentless Advocacy
- Our school district doesn't control the funding it receives; it's granted by the provincial and federal governments.
- That's why we need strong, experienced leaders like Donna to advocate for our city and our students.
Student-First Focus
- Donna makes decisions based on what's best for students and their success.
- She firmly believes the focus must always be on the learner.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for All
- Donna believes it's critical to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all students and staff.
- She is committed to ensuring every student has the opportunity to realize their physical, academic, and personal potential.
- She is unwavering in her commitment to diversity, anti-racism, truth and reconciliation, and anti-oppression.
Community and Partner Collaboration
- As a School Board Trustee, a collaborative approach to decision-making is essential.
- Donna believes in gathering meaningful input from students, parents, staff, and partner groups whenever the Board is making key decisions.
