School Trustee Candidates Across Two Regions Outline Plans
School board trustee candidates in two communities are emphasizing practical student support and stronger connections between schools and their communities. In South PEC, former Loyalist College instructor Peter Wheeler says he would focus on academic supports, career readiness, workplace experience and helping students understand postsecondary options. In Chico Unified School District’s Trustee Area 5 race, incumbent Caitlin Dalby highlights teacher advocacy, particularly in special education, while Amy Ford stresses representing families and drawing on her experience as both an educator and parent. Fellow candidate Lance Atkins says he would prioritize civil discourse and consensus-building, bringing experience in local agriculture, coaching and community involvement.
