STANDING UP FOR STUDENTS
My job is to advocate for students. My goal is to effectuate a healthy educational environment based on faith, trust and transparency.

EMPOWERING PARENTS
Parents know …their children's needs best. Parental rights need to be respected more in the education system. I will always amplify their concerns.

EDUCATION NOT RADICAL INDOCTRINATION
I won't let radical indoctrination by activists go on any longer. I will fight to ensure students are protected, and receive a Catholic education.

“Catholic education is above all a question of communicating Christ, of helping to form Christ in the lives of others."

I am lawyer who has been advocating for the rights of injured people for the past 25 years. My wife is a teacher and my 3 children are all students in the ALCDSB. I have acted as the Chair of Parent Council …at Mother Teresa Catholic School for the past 10 years. It is now time for me to put all of this experience to work as Trustee.Given my experience and relationships, I have garnered a vast amount of knowledge in both the strengths and the weaknesses of our board. I am fully aware that financial, professional and emotional support are all in short supply for our students, educators and support staff. Students need to be both supported and challenged in order to obtain the best learning outcomes. In order to do this our educators must feel equally supported by the school board administration. I believe that together our Board has limitless potential for excellence in education and I would appreciate the opportunity to turn this potential to reality. More

I am a husband, chartered professional accountant, and soon-to-be father of a baby boy. What I hope to accomplish as a trustee is centered on 3 foundational pillars:

1. Student academic excellence

2. …Parents as primary educators

3. Student faith formation More

My name is Nicole Skladowski. Over the past several years, I have been working as an educator, across multiple school boards. I have also participated on parent teacher counsels as an involved mother. …I am running to become a school board trustee because I believe education is rooted community, and I want to be an accessible representative for the community at the board.

The community is an important part of education. This extends beyond the classroom and includes the entire neighbourhood, our parks, libraries, roads, rinks, etc. Our schools are connected. As your school board trustee, I am committed to be available to all members of the community to represent you at the board and make your voices heard. We are most effective by governance in our own communities.

Parents want the best for their children and we have a similar expectation of our schools. They should be welcoming, inclusive, encouraging, and fair, with a focus on providing high quality academics and enrichment activities. As a candidate in this upcoming election, I want to represent you at the board as your trustee, working toward a better classroom.

Teachers EAs, ECEs and school staff are working to make the learning experience positive, meaningful and safe. I have been an educator for years and know some of the challenges experienced. If elected to be your trustee, I will work with educators to ensure they have the tools and resources they need to empower future generations.
