Brook Jones is focused on a number of priorities for the entire Pembina Trails School Division and specifically for Ward 1

Supporting Safe and Inclusive Schools: Brook believes that students, teachers, administration and support staff need to feel safe and included in a positive learning environment while at school.

Supporting Foundational Subject: Brook believes first and foremost that foundational subjects need to be supported at their currently level and if possible, an increase in support.

Supporting Extracurricular Activities: Brook believes that if there is a material increase in the annual budget, these funds should be directed to areas that support education outside of the classroom, such as extracurricular activities, which include sports, band, drama/theatre, field trips, and school exchanges, just to name a few. Brook strongly believes that additional learning and lifelong experiences for students happen outside of the classroom.

Supporting Athletic Fields: Brook believes there is a need for the improvement of athletic facilities/fields/track ovals such as at  École Charleswood School, Institut Collégial Vincent Massey Collegiate (even though the City of Winnipeg owns the athletic grounds adjacent to the school), and Fort Richmond Collegiate. If elected as school trustee, Brook will looking into creating more shared services agreements with the City of Winnipeg and various community organizations to pressure and improve the condition of athletic facilities, especially the track ovals that haven’t been maintained in more than 15 years.

Healthy Schools = Healthy Communities and Healthy Communities = Healthy Schools. 

School Buses: Brook believes the school bus garage needs to be relocated from its currently location on Wilkes Avenue.

The Future: Working towards the construction of a community facility/theatre for the Pembina Trails School Division, similar to the Seven Oaks Performing Arts Centre that opened at Garden City Collegiate in 2018.
