Tony Haines

for St. Albert Public Schools Trustee

Accountability, transparency and safety for school communities

Vote Monday, December 7, 2026 Advance vote Saturday, December 5 · Both days 10am–8pm

Why I'm running

We moved to St. Albert a little over a year ago for one reason: the school system. Today my stepdaughters are thriving in high school at St. Albert Public Schools, and my son attended St. Albert schools from K-12 and graduated last year. I've seen what great public schools can do for a family, and I want every student here to have that experience.

What I bring

My career has taught me to listen first, work with people to develop a plan, and then deliver results.

My priorities

Accountability

Good board governance, clear decisions, and responsible use of our education dollars.

Transparency

Keeping families informed of board decisions and activities, with open and accessible board business.

Safety and security

Schools where every student and staff member feels safe walking in the door — secure school buildings, safe places to learn and work, and mental health support for students and the staff who care for them.

I'll work with the board, fellow trustees, staff and families, listening first and building on what's already working, so every student has a great school experience.
