An incumbent Port Coqutilam school trustee is throwing his hat in the ring for a second term on the board of education for School District 43.
Michael Thomas has announced his candidacy for re-election.
Among the accomplishments Thomas cites in his press release is his leadership role as board vice-chair and BC Public School Employers Association representative.
Thomas is the father of three and is a technology business owner, according to his website www.ThomasFromPoco.ca.
“I am proud of our continuing success in student achievement levels, moving a number of seismic safety projects forward (including Minnekhada middle and Irvine elementary), and in repairing our district’s once desperate financial situation. By bringing stability to our district we’ve been able to support all students, especially our most vulnerable and to create new learning opportunities; giving students the cutting‐edge tools and methods they need to prosper in the 21st century.”
