In less than three months, Albertans will head to the polls to elect new school board trustees - people who will make important decisions about how our children are educated.

These decisions affect everything from classroom content to school policies and how public funds are spent.

Some school boards have deep issues, but all could use more accountability to parents - the real experts in our own kids!

That’s why the Alberta Parents’ Union is preparing to launch three key projects aimed at empowering parents in this election:

Candidate Surveys

We want to reach out to every school board candidate across Alberta with detailed surveys.

Our goal is to find out where candidates stand on critical issues such as parental rights, educational choice, and fiscal responsibility.

Once we have their answers, we will make the information available to parents in an easy-to-understand format, so families can make informed decisions when they vote.

Door-to-Door Outreach

We are planning to connect directly with parents in communities across the province.

Our aim is to go door-to-door in key areas to talk with families, answer questions, and build lasting local networks of parents who are engaged and ready to advocate for their children’s education - not just this election, but long term.

Trustee Accountability Tracking

Too often, elected trustees’ decisions go unnoticed until the next election.

We want to create a public database tracking how incumbent trustees have voted on important issues throughout their terms.

These projects are ambitious and have the potential to make a real impact - but to get them off the ground, we need your help.

Running effective surveys, organizing door-to-door campaigns, and building accountability systems requires funding.

Without sufficient resources, we won’t be able to reach as many families or provide the tools parents deserve.

That’s why we’re asking you to consider making a donation today.

Your support will help us:

• Reach more parents with clear, unbiased information
• Build stronger connections within communities
• Create tools that hold school boards accountable in the long run

We know that when parents are informed and involved, education improves for everyone.

But this doesn’t happen by chance - it requires commitment, effort, and support from people who care deeply about the future.

Please stand with us today to help make sure parents have a voice in this crucial election.
