Brousseau: Youth deserve energetic, enthusiastic board

My name is Mike Brousseau and I’m running to represent the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and the City of St. Catharines as a public school board trustee at the District School Board of Niagara. I was born and raised in the Niagara Region and have been an educator at Brock University for nearly two decades.

During my time in education, I’ve been building, implementing, and teaching about innovative classroom practices, educational technologies, accessibility, equity, and digital privacy. Our young people deserve a school board that is as energetic and enthusiastic as they are and I’m confident I can deliver.

Together, the town and the city elect four trustees to represent them at the DSBN and I’d be honoured to be elected to one of these four positions.

While I commend the work our existing board has done over the past several difficult years, I strongly believe there is more to do.

The five big priorities for my campaign are as follows: Fighting hate and keeping students safe; increasing funding for science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM); increasing transparency between the school board and the community; working together to build equitable and inclusive communities; and championing 21st century skills for students.
