Education

'I have proven to be responsible in fiscal management and will ensure taxpayer dollars are allocated appropriately,' says Rob Chiaramida
I am running for Catholic school board trustee because I believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe, equitable, inclusive, faith-filled and forward-thinking environment.
I am committed to representing all stakeholders to ensure students have access to the resources, opportunities and supportive learning environments they need to thrive and reach their full potential.
I understand the importance of schools that provide a thriving environment with dedicated educators and a school board that listens, supports and enriches the families it serves.
I am familiar with the current SMCDSB values and strategic plans. It is my goal to create effective collaboration to ensure these are met and evaluated accordingly.
To serve as trustee would be both an honour and a privilege – one I would embrace with pride, purpose and a steadfast commitment to putting the needs of our students and families at the heart of every decision.
