To give our students A Better Chance
Accountable
Peel Region’s rapid growth has resulted in financial and school management challenges. Successful school systems require the involvement of parents, city officials, educators and accountable school board representation. Suzanne Nurse has partnered with city officials as well as other board Trustees to maintain an ongoing dialogue about the issues in the school system and the necessary steps to resolve them. She is an actively engaged Trustee, who supports youth in reaching their full potential.
Aware
Research has shown that reading, writing and math scores need to improve in our region and that there is an overall national decline in science and technology university entrants. With a competitive edge, we can advance in the global marketplace. The curriculum needs to be realigned to focus on the basics and increase the scores, without neglecting other areas of learning. Suzanne Nurse will continue to work hard to remove the barriers and pave the way for our young people to excel.
Accessible

Suzanne is your link to accessing resources in order to secure a successful future for our youth.
