The candidates were asked to give their thoughts on SOGI and anti-racism initiatives in schools
This week the Prince George Citizen will be posting series of questions asked of the 13 candidates running as trustees for School District No. 57 .
Cory Antrim If what we are doing right now is not working and a large population of our students do not feel safe at school, then we have to make a shift in policy. What that policy shift would look like, would come from an extensive conversation with school and community members. I believe everyone who works and attends any of our schools deserves to feel safe.
Craig Brennan It is vital to consult with students and families, staff, and communities to assess our strengths and weaknesses with respect to student belonging and safety. The results of such consultation will clarify the issues facing our students and help us develop workable strategies and practical solutions. As a Trustee, a priority would be to promote a positive, welcoming and inclusive District culture, and I support the inclusion of SOGI and anti-racism education in our schools.
Shar McCrory Starting in the 2019/2020 school year, the previous board approved $350,000 for 3 years on the Building Safer Schools program. That work is now done but was found to be so beneficial that the district is finding ways of continuing much of the work. And yes, absolutely, the SOGI and anti-racism initiatives contribute to student belonging. No student should be made to feel confusion, fear or shame for who they are.
