Principled Decision Making for Ottawa Parents and Families
Competence Over Chaos
Progressive Politics Predictably Produces Chaos. Families deserve trustees who prepare carefully, communicate clearly, and make decisions with consistency.
Constant battles over political correctness and a costly enforcement bureaucracy that has created a climate of fear for teachers takes away from student resources.
Academic Outcomes
Student achievement must return as the central priority of the OCDSB. Shannon is a firm believer in the law of life: “You get what you focus on.”
This is true in business, leadership, and in life.
The OCDSB must once again place learning and student achievement as its CORE focus.
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.
