Thank you for your support!

I am very humbled by the support that residents in Orleans & Cumberland have placed in me as their school board trustee.  As your trustee, I promise to deliver the same amount of passion, energy and commitment to our students and community as I have over the last four years.

I also want to congratulate all the candidates who put their name on the ballot and had the courage to run.  Elections are never easy - they take a tremendous amount of hard-work and commitment.

Again, thank you to all - I promise not to let you down!

John

Choose hard-work, energy and experienced leadership

Since I was first elected on November 13, 2006 I have never given our community’s students and taxpayers anything less than 110% of my time, commitment and energy.  By having the best board meeting attendance record of any trustee, I have been able to articulate our community’s needs all while having a cautious approach to spending precious education tax dollars.

I have helped guide hundreds of parents through the school board bureaucracy to ensure their children get the services they deserve.    I’ve attended hundreds of Parent Council meetings to hear the concerns of parents and to ensure the board collects their input on new policies.  I have regularly met with municipal, provincial and federal representatives to make certain that our board’s funding inequities are properly and permanently addressed.

Over the course of the campaign, I’ve gone through two pairs of shoes, delivered over 20,000 flyers and have spoken with many of you on your doorstep about how our public schools can be even better than they are now.  With your support, I want to be the catalyst for change.  I want to be our community’s voice at the board table.  I want to serve you and your family with the same energy I’ve given our community for the past four years.

I would be honoured to have your support tomorrow.  Together, let’s make all public schools better than ever!

Best wishes,

John Shea
