About
Who Is Michael Serdan?
First and foremost, I’m a concerned father and a husband. I’m married and, like many of you, I have two school-aged kids attending public schools in Windsor. I want our schools to better reflect the needs of these kids and their families.
Having travelled a bit and having experienced our system as well as others, I’m concerned about my kids entering the outside world unprepared. That concern is why I’m running for school board trustee.
In Windsor, you'll find me at the rink — coaching minor hockey with WMHA/RMHA, refereeing OMHA and WRA, and umpiring for the WUA. Community isn't a slogan; it's where I spend my time.

What I Stand For
Ten practical priorities — not slogans. Focused on safety, literacy, parents, and accountability.
02
Safe Schools for All
Every child deserves to learn in a physically and emotionally safe environment. Safety is the foundation of education.
03
Zero Tolerance for Bullying
Clear, consistent enforcement against bullying and violence. No exceptions, no bureaucracy that protects aggressors.
04
Bullying Education
Proactive programs teaching students how to identify, prevent, and deal with bullying — building resilience and empathy.
05
CORE & STEM Focus
Return to fundamentals: literacy, numeracy, critical thinking. Reduce dependence on devices. Audiobooks, calculators & AI only after mastery.
06
Financial Accountability
Every tax dollar tracked. Transparent budgets, audits, and spending that directly benefits classrooms and students.
07
Whole Child Support
Protect and expand school lunches, special education resources, extracurriculars, and athletics — essential, not extras.
08
Future Pathways
Real guidance through counseling, mentoring, and business partnerships. Honest pathways in AI, skilled trades, university and college.
09
Province-Wide Coalition
Build a united coalition of school boards and parents to advocate effectively at Queen's Park for local control.
10
Business Community Solutions
Find strong short-term solutions now through business sponsorships and partnerships — not waiting for provincial action.
5
CORE & STEM — Literacy First
Reading, writing, math, critical thinking — mastered before screens. Audiobooks, calculators, and AI are tools, not replacements. We teach fundamentals, then teach tools wisely.
Bottom Line
Safe kids. Informed parents. Accountable spending. Real preparation for jobs and life.
A Trustee Who Listens
Why I’m Running
This is what I believe is important within our schools. I have kids attending a public primary school in Windsor right now, just as many of you, the voters, do. I want them, and every student, ready for the world beyond the classroom.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
