Paul Rasiulis — SMCDSB trustee Barrie Wards 1-5
Hello, my name is Paul Rasiulis and I am running for Catholic school trustee in Barrie for Wards 1 to 5. As a father of two daughters who completed their education through the Catholic school system and with the full support of my wife, who is a registered nurse, I will be a strong and experienced voice for parents and children in our school system.
I am a retired teacher with 33 years of both elementary and high school experience within the Catholic school system. My last 27 years were with the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board. I currently work as a licensed financial consultant in Barrie.
My educational background includes:
Master of education degree (University of Toronto)
Principle’s certification (York University)
Bachelor of education (University of Toronto)
Bachelor of physical and health education (University of Ottawa)
My extensive background in education allows me to be well-informed and to have a grassroots appreciation of educational issues. Some key issues that I feel need to be addressed are: a) the support of students’ mental health; b) the need for improvement for students with learning disabilities; and c) the distinctiveness of the Catholic school and community.
If elected, I intend to be easily accessible to my constituents and to respond to all inquiries in a timely manner. I have always valued hard work, honesty and dedication and feel that these qualities would make me a strong advocate for the community. I am very proud to have been a member of the SMCDSB and would love the opportunity to continue to be involved in the field of Catholic education.
