I am a lifetime resident of Brock Township with a keen interest in the public school system. After a 35 year career, as a teacher, principal and superintendent, I retired from the position of Associate Director of Education with the York Region District School Board. I have studied extensively at the University of Toronto - Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and hold degrees at the masters and doctoral levels. My doctoral research examined the value of computer technology as an instructional tool. The trustee position affords an opportunity to use my knowledge and my passion to serve the Durham community.
I am committed to the notion of equity of opportunity in the belief that all children are capable and deserve the best education possible regardless of their needs or abilities.
I have always stressed the importance of open communication and accessibility. Parents must have a voice. I value hearing from you regarding a school related issue. I may be in a position to assist. I will certainly consider your views in determining my position related to policy matters that guide the efforts of the Durham District School Board now and into the future.
Encouraged as an efficiency measure by the Ontario Ministry of Education, in December 2005, the Durham District School Board and the Durham Catholic District School Board formed a consortium to provide transportation services for all eligible students in the Durham Region.. This consortium now operates as Durham Student Transportation Services (DSTS) and is responsible for the safe transportation of more then 28,000 Durham students every day. ... more
