School District 57 trustee Shar McCrory is seeking re-election.
She was elected to the SD57 Board of Education in the 2023 by-election after previously serving over eight years as a school trustee in the Coast Mountains School District, including as Board Chair.
“When I ran in 2023, I talked about supporting students and staff, improving transparency, strengthening relationships, and making sure the different needs of learners are reflected in our decisions,” McCrory said.
“Those things still matter to me.”
During her current term, McCrory has been involved in Board policy, strategic planning, and district improvement work.
She currently represents the Board at the B.C. School Trustees Association Provincial Council and serves as the trustee representative on the Indigenous Education Council.
McCrory said her priorities for another term include supporting the diverse needs of students, strong and transparent governance, support for the people working in SD57, and building relationships with families, partner groups, Indigenous communities, and community organizations.
“Trustees will not always agree, and that’s part of governance,” McCrory said.
“What matters is that we do our homework, listen, work together respectfully and constructively, and make decisions that move the district forward.”
McCrory has lived in northern British Columbia for more than 30 years and has lived in Prince George since 2022.
In addition to her education governance experience in the northwest, she works in health care and has served with a number of northern non-profit organizations
