I have been on the Board of Education for Surrey for the past 16 years. Currently, I am the Vice-Chair of the Board of Education and I have been the Chair of the Budget Committee for the past ten years. My family and I moved to Surrey in 1981. I have three daughters, all of whom graduated from the Surrey School system. I also have five grandchildren; four of which are already in the Surrey

public school system. I understand the fundamental importance of a sound, publicly-funded education system and as a Trustee, I will ensure the Surrey School District maintains its high standard of excellence. I will also commit to continue to fight for Surrey’s fair share of all education funding and to make sure the funding goes where it is most needed – in the classroom. I will not stop the fight for more classroom space and new schools.
