"The work of a public school trustee is a complex one. The individual must be able to navigate the challenging and ever changing system of public education, work with various levels of government, and form close relationships with communities and parents.

Sue Lawton has proven to be that exceptional individual who has mastered all aspects of this position. She has chaired various committees in the Board, including Audit, Regional Programs and Trustee Review, among others. 

By far Trustee Lawton's greatest gift is her fierce advocacy for the students and schools she represents. 

Thank you Trustee Lawton for your laser focus on student wellbeing and student success. I fully endorse you to be re-elected as 

Peel District School Board Trustee for Mississauga Wards  3 & 4."

Suzanne Nurse, Vice-Chair, Peel District School Board
