Over the last 8 years the Board has cultivated a school district that is a great place in which to learn and work. 

We have: 

• Improved technology for teachers and students.

• Cultivated an approachable, inclusive culture at the school board office and with the community.

• Overhauled of district policies and procedures.

• Improved openness and transparency through public Committee of the Whole Meetings where information is discussed with stakeholders and the public before proceeding to the Public Board meetings.  

• Improved Student Services. In 2019, a Ministry of Education Audit of Student Education Services, and the audit team described the process we have in Mission as "highly commendable" and "one of the best around."

• Developed a Residential School Curriculum website GreatSpiritHand, which is garnering world-wide attention.  

• Implemented Joyful Literacy and Jump Math programs in our elementary schools.

• Increased Professional Development for teachers and support staff. 

• One of my proudest accomplishments was being the catalyst to have our Superintendent visit our middle, high and alternate schools to get direct feedback from students in regards to budget.

​​

• In the first 4 years of my term, we built a foundation we were proud of, and looked forward to expanding on that work.  A large majority of  my second term focused on the Covid-19 pandemic, and our focus shifted to health and safety.  In this third term it is my hope that we can shift our focus back to educating our students and doing the best we can to help them succeed.
