SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE
Peel District School Board - Ward 3 & 4
Meet Kashaf Paracha
Hi! My name is Kashaf, and I am running as your candidate for School Board Trustee in Peel District School Board Wards 3 & 4.Mississauga Ward 3 has been my home for 26 years. I attended local PDSB schools right here in our community, and today, my younger sibling walks those same hallways. My connection to our schools is not theoretical, it is part of my daily family life.Growing up here, I watched firsthand as my parents and neighbours navigated the public school system, often struggling to find strong support and clear answers. I know how overwhelming school advocacy can feel for families who simply want the best education for their children.So, who better to represent our community than someone who grew up in it? As your Trustee, I bring deep roots, lived experience, and a strong commitment to ensuring every student and parent in Wards 3 & 4 has a dedicated voice at the decision-making table.
