Our students deserve an exemplary educational experience and lack of funding should not be a reason for them not to receive it.

At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.

Equity means a fair education for ALL students.
Written parental consent (opt-in) must be obtained before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL).

Agree
School boards are accountable to parents and taxpayers.

I am a Christian.
