Support safe learning environments and bring concerns raised by students, families and staff to the board table.
Campaign priorities
Priorities for
our schools
Real plans for real concerns, from real parents.
These are Jot Dhaliwal’s stated priorities for discussion and advocacy at the Peel District School Board. Trustees make decisions collectively, and many school operations are managed by board administration.
Student success
Support strong learning opportunities and help students build the skills and confidence to reach their potential.
Stronger academics
Keep learning, academic achievement and access to meaningful opportunities at the centre of board discussions.
Parent engagement
Encourage clear communication and meaningful ways for parents and caregivers to raise concerns.
Supporting educators
Listen to teachers, educational assistants and school staff, and bring their perspectives into board discussions.
Inclusive learning environments
Support schools where students have the opportunity to participate, learn and succeed.
Responsible decisions
Review choices about public resources thoughtfully and support transparent, accountable board decisions.
Better opportunities for students
Advocate with fellow trustees for learning supports and opportunities that help students thrive.
Class sizes and supports
Bring community concerns about class sizes, staffing and student supports forward for informed board discussion.
Reducing drugs and violence
Listen to concerns about drugs and violence around schools and advocate for coordinated, student-focused responses.
Trustee authority
An individual trustee does not independently direct teachers, principals or board staff. The board makes governance decisions collectively.
