A former District Parent Advisory Council president is running for school trustee in Coquitlam.

Craig Woods has announced his candidacy, citing his efforts to bring parent voice to school district issues and efforts to increase outreach to parents as some of his accomplishments during five years as DPAC president.

Woods was also involved in his local school PACs, helping to introduce an after school program at Walton and helping to establish a Mandarin bilingual program parent advisory group at Scoot Creek, among other things.

His platform seeks resources to support student mental health in schools, more board accountability, including fiscal responsibility, and more parent input through surveys and other methods.

Woods is also a Coquitlam Metro Ford soccer coach and has been a Coquitlam Toastmasters club president.
