Why vote for Cindy?As trustee, these are the values and priorities Cindy will bring to the York Region District School Board:
1. Champion for our Community Cindy is committed to serving the community and being an accessible trustee that you can count on! All stakeholders in our schools – parents, students, teachers and the community at large – deserve our support to have a thriving education system. York Region’s diversity is one of its strengths. Cindy will stand up for the needs of our diverse community at the YRDSB, ensuring our community is served. 2. Advocate for Transparency The Ontario Education system is complex. It can be challenging to make change happen and ensure the education system is delivering results for students. Cindy will communicate what decisions are being taken, and why they are being taken. We need to bring transparency and accountability to decision-making, and Cindy will involve the community to keep them informed and give them a voice at the table. 3. Managing Growth in York Region It is an exciting time in York Region! Our population is growing and communities are expanding. But with growth comes challenges. Your tax dollars must be invested wisely and effectively to ensure needs are met. School infrastructure must meet the needs of today and tomorrow. We need enough qualified teachers for the demands of our growing region. And class sizes need to remain small to enable learning for our students and support for our teachers. Cindy will focus on managing this growth and supporting York Region. 4. Keeping Kids Safe at School School is a student's second home, so it must provide students with a safe, healthy, nurturing environment. We all want our kids to look forward to school, but many feel anxiety and fear due to bullying. Until bullying is eliminated from our schools, Cindy believes it is an issue that must be addressed further, and that we need to provide support to schools and teachers for dealing with these difficult situations in effective ways. 5. Delivering Quality Education that meets Students' Needs Serving a diverse community in York Region gives our Board of Education opportunities for specialized investment in our children. Learning basic skills, including reading, writing and arithmetic, is key to a student’s education. Our children also deserve opportunities to determine their individual passions and encouragement to follow their dreams. In York Region, this means:
