Key Priorities
Transparency
Allison believes that there should be transparency in the work a school division does. Parents, students, staff and community should be able to clearly see where the beliefs come from, the work they are doing on thebeliefs and to be able to understand clearly the decisions made and the direction they are going.
Accountability
Allison believes a School Board should be accountable for the decisions they make and those decisions should be based on what is in the best interest of students and should represent views of the constituents they were elected by. In order to find out what constituents want, there must be opportunity for engagement and that does not mean feedback after something has been developed but to be a part of the development process. Allison is a strong believer in having people/partners being a part of process, people need the opportunity to see themselves in the development process as well as the processes that follow.
Inclusion
Allison believes education in Lethbridge School Division should be inclusive for all students and should support the diversity within it. This includes supporting students and staff regardless of their disability, culture, gender or other inclusive needs. When we support one, we support many. Allison has been a strong advocate, standing up for the needs of students and staff – regardless of what their needs may be.
