Student Success
Strong literacy, mathematics and academic outcomes should stay at the centre of public education. I want board decisions guided by measurable results, with support reaching the students who need it most.
Candidate for GECDSB Trustee · Windsor Wards 1, 2 & 9
Mohammad Affan Shahid
A Student Perspectivefor Public Education.
I'm a University of Windsor student running to represent Windsor Wards 1, 2 and 9. Here is who I am, what I stand for, and how to reach me.
About Me
From supporting students on campus to working with youth in our community.
I'm Affan, a fourth year student at the University of Windsor and President of the Computer Science Society, where I represent more than 2,000 students, lead a board of 20, and manage a budget of about $60,000 while organizing events and initiatives across campus.
Outside the university, I coach robotics for grade school students, tutor part time with GenioTech, and organize annual summer and soccer camps for local youth alongside parents, volunteers and community partners.

Priorities
My Priorities
A trustee cannot solve every problem alone. The role is to help set priorities, oversee budgets and policies, and represent the community at the board table.
Supporting Every Student
Special education, accessibility and mental health supports deserve careful, sustained attention. Every student deserves a safe learning environment, free from bullying.
Preparing Students for the Future
University, college, skilled trades, apprenticeships, cooperative education and entrepreneurship are all valid paths. Schools should also build financial literacy, technology and computer science skills, and responsible AI education.
Accountability & Better Schools
Responsible budgeting, transparent decisions and honest priorities for aging school infrastructure. Families should be able to understand Board decisions without reading hundreds of pages of documents.
My Motivation
Why I'm Running
I've spent the past several years representing students, working with youth, organizing community programs and helping students learn.
As a current university student, I have a recent view of the transition from elementary and secondary school into university, careers and adult life.
Technology, AI and careers are changing quickly. I want students in Wards 1, 2 and 9 to be prepared for the world they will enter after graduation.
