Core Themes
What This Platform Stands For
Shannon Boschy’s platform is built around clear priorities that matter to families: restoring focus to student learning, improving trust in board governance, and bringing calm, competent leadership to public service.
Academic Outcomes
Student achievement must return as the central priority of the OCDSB. The board should promote Right to Read recommendations from the Human Rights Commission, and explicit Math Instruction. Literacy, numeracy, and safe classroom conditions, are absolutes for student success in every school.
A Board by Example
Trust is earned through conduct. Trustees should model respect, accountability, and professionalism, setting a standard for how public institutions serve students, parents, and educators.
We must cut ALL professional development promoting 51st State (US Race Politics) in schools and return to pride in Canadian history and our founding principles.
Focus Areas
How These Priorities Translate Into Action
Student-Centred Decisions
Every major decision should be measured against one question: will this improve outcomes for students in OCDSB classrooms?
Clear Accountability
Board members should explain decisions plainly, accept responsibility, and report back to families with honesty and transparency.
Respectful Governance
Public trust grows when meetings, debate, and leadership conduct reflect seriousness, civility, and a commitment to the common good.
Community Confidence
Parents, students, and residents should feel heard and informed, with a trustee who is visible, responsive, and grounded in local concerns.
Why This Matters for Somerset
OCDSB Zone 10 – Somerset deserves representation that is serious about student success and responsible public leadership.
This platform reflects a belief that school board governance should support classrooms, strengthen confidence in public education, and keep the needs of families at the centre of every decision. In a time when many voters are looking for steadier leadership, Shannon Boschy is presenting a practical, community-focused alternative.
