The ward 4 trustee wants to see the Portage School Division's restructuring to the end. 

Joan McCallister -- a farmer and retired teacher -- is seeking a third term. 

 

She's already served two, being first elected in 1998, but wants to continue responding to fluctuating enrollment numbers within the division.  She feels attractive programming is what's needed. 

 

McCallister plans to continue lobbying efforts to find new ways of funding education, with less emphasis on property tax. 

 

Having served two terms for the division, McCallister brings experience to the table, particularly a good rapport with the educational system.
