Elect
YRDSB Trustee Vaughan Wards 2 & 3
BACK TO THE BASICS!
Why I'm running for Trustee.
A lot is at stake in the upcoming school board election. In recent years, student achievement has declined, school safety concerns have grown, and too much attention has been diverted from the classroom.
It's time to get Back to the Basics.
As your Trustee, I will remove politics from our schools and restore a strong focus on academic excellence, school safety, and properly funding our classrooms. Together, we can restore confidence in our school system and ensure every student receives the high-quality education they deserve.
A plan to get back to the basics.
Ben's common sense plan will get our school board focused on academics, safety, and lowering class sizes - not politics and distractions.
Restore Academic Excellence
Raise academic standards, teach financial literacy, and bring back a merit-based education system.
End the Distractions
Combat social media addiction and remove all political biases from our schools.
Protect School Safety
Impose meaningful consequences for violence and restore the School Resource Officer Program.
Invest in Students & Teachers
Prioritize investment in hiring teachers, special education, and lowering class sizes.
