Low seeking school trustee seat after 2023 byelection bid
PRINCE GEORGE — David Low is once again seeking a position on the School District 57 board, hoping voters will elect him as a trustee after an unsuccessful bid in a 2023 byelection.
Low says he decided to run because he believes the public education system is facing significant challenges and needs stronger leadership. He points to declining enrolment in public schools despite Prince George’s growing population, while private schools and homeschooling continue to see increased participation.
“There is something wrong with that,” Low said. “Why is the public system being hampered while private schools are overflowing and have waiting lists?”
A former school principal with a master’s degree, Low says his experience in both education and business gives him a unique perspective. Before moving to Prince George in 1992, he served as principal of three schools. He has also operated a local business and worked with hundreds of clients in financial counselling and debt management.
