Towards- the individual consttuents, a trustee should try te mneet their needs and listen te, their concerns. The trustee should seek a remedyý and bring the situation before the board if necessary. To the. population as a whole, the trustee should do bis or her best to represent them. I plan te do a number of survers in order te determline how bestI cari represent the people, parents and taxpayers alike.* To date, I have been lead te, believe that there 18 not sufficient opportunity for public iniput. Maybe it is that it bas not been rconimiuni*cated te, them'how te go about it or what avenues are available te thelm. I would hope te, in some form, better the communication between the board and the public, and informi the public more on issues such as the year-round concept. 13.

I would tbink that if I was aware (and I intend te ho) of the mgjoity of the constituents' position, I would vote in favour of the people who élected me. If it was a major issue and because of moral reasons I couldflot go alongwith the majority (which I seriously doubt would ever be the case), I would bave te, seriously consider removing myself from the position of trustee. 14.

I feel inadequate te, answer this question since I do not know the. history of pay increases for trustees, nor the increase or decrease in the level of reponsibilities. I would only vote for a pay increase if it was well ovrde and was warranted. 19 Hou an ja diff«iM &mta " ti tie I would hope that the answers te the. previous 14 questions would show how I may ha different fromn the other candidate«.
