Candidates Heather Marcy and Laurie Thompson are campaigning for trustee positions on the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board. Both candidates prioritize student mental health and well-being, though they offer different professional backgrounds and strategic approaches to the role.
Marcy, a retired educator with 34 years of experience as a principal and vice-principal, advocates for increasing the number of Catholic social workers in schools. She is campaigning for a return to local decision-making power, arguing that the provincial government has reduced the autonomy of small school boards. Her platform emphasizes a holistic approach to education across spiritual, academic, physical, and artistic dimensions.
Thompson, a professional at Magnet Forensics, focuses her platform on creating safe and inclusive learning environments to address bullying and online safety risks. Drawing on her background in digital forensics and communication studies, she aims to increase transparency and collaboration between schools, families, and the broader community. Thompson emphasizes the importance of building strong community ties to support student success.
