Former Abbotsford school board chair announces campaign to return to Board of Education

Pauls says she is campaigning on a platform centred around responsible governance, transparent and accountable use of public resources, safe and caring schools, strong literacy and numeracy foundations, meaningful parent voice, and advocacy for every child.

“Strong schools are built through respect for all people, strong policy, responsible decision-making, and a clear focus on students,” Pauls said. “The role of a trustee is to monitor the system, ask the hard questions, resource and enable staff and educators, support families, and provide vision by making decisions that serve the long-term needs of students and the district.”

During her time away from elected office, Pauls continued to work in youth-centred leadership as Executive Director of Baseball PEI Inc. and Baseball PEI Developments Inc., leading provincial sport operations, policy development, Safe Sport practices, budget management, and community infrastructure projects. She says that experience has strengthened her perspective on governance, partnerships, accountability, and the importance of creating opportunities where young people feel safe, supported, included, and able to succeed.

Her campaign has received the endorsement of David Laing, CEO of Baseball BC, who described Pauls as a leader with professionalism, integrity, sound judgment, and a genuine dedication to the people she serves.

Pauls says her reason for running is simple: “Every child deserves to be seen, supported, challenged, respected, and given the opportunity to thrive. I am ready to bring my experience, my student-centered values, and my full commitment back to the Abbotsford Board of Education.”
