My name is Alex Marshall and I am running for Edmonton Public School Board Trustee in Ward F
About me
I am a former teacher and have worked with school boards all over the province throughout my career. I have worked both directly as an educator, and more recently working with school boards in developing policies and procedures that help children thrive. I also have delivered professional development for teachers to help them best support all of their students to hundreds of teachers all over Alberta
In my work, I have seen how critical the role of school board trustee is. In our province we have seen how chronic underfunding has been detrimental to our ability to provide best in the world education and opportunities. We have seen how attacks on students rights and teachers has been used to distract from real issues. We need change at all levels, including in school boards, with people willing to stand up and advocate for that change. We need people willing to protect public education and defend our most vulnerable students when they are under attack. I believe I am that person.
Why vote for me?
What are some key issues this election?
-Public funding for public schools
-Adequate funding for all schools and staff
-Protecting vulnerable children from scapegoating
-Supporting parents and communities in getting the best for their children
-Working with other boards and outside agencies to fight for the rights of our students and schools
Ward F
Ward F is is located within Treaty 6 Territory, which is the traditional lands of many First Nations, including the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Sioux, and Métis peoples. It has 35 schools within it’s boundaries, tied with Ward G for the most schools of any Ward.
Full of growing communities, Ward F is particularly hampered by historic underfunding leading to issues with deferred maintenance and growing class sizes.
