Promises / Commitments and evidence
## Commitments and the available evidence.
Published positions and selected commitments, separated by election cycle. Status labels describe the evidence reviewed, not a numerical score or a complete audit of the platform. Council approval is different from delivery.
5 commitments shown · Checked Sep 22
2026 · Education fundingCampaign pledge
### Equitable resources and funding for students
The party page says Ochoa Prieto is running to make sure current and future students have access to equitable resources, funding and inclusive places to learn and grow.
Evidence & next checks

2026 · Student healthCampaign pledge

Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- This comes from the candidate's own party page. No cost, site or timeline is given.
- What still needs checking
- Whether this means school facilities, city facilities, or shared use of both.
- [Candidate page for Isabel Ochoa Prieto](https://www.vancouverliberals.com/isabel_ochoa)Campaign · Vancouver Liberals
2026 · School safetyCampaign pledge
### School Liaison Officer programme
A Vancouver Liberals press release dated September 22, 2026 commits the party to keeping and developing the School Liaison Officer programme, which places Vancouver police officers in schools.
Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- The release quotes mayoral candidate Kareem Allam and names school board chair Victoria Jung, who is running for council with the party. It gives a figure of 1,117 reports made by school staff and administrators through the programme between September 2023 and June 2025, about half of which it says led to formal reports. The release carries no statement from Ochoa Prieto, and the party's issues page, last updated August 19, 2026, covers council matters with no school board section, so this is the party's position.
- What still needs checking
- Whether Ochoa Prieto states a position on police in schools, and where the 1,117 figure was published.

No news reporting about Ochoa Prieto was found beyond the ballot listings. The party page names no employer, no job title and no dates, so the career description could not be checked against an outside source. The candidate page links to a launch video, which was not opened, so nothing from it is recorded here. The Vancouver Liberals issues page sets out council policy and has no school board section, so the school policy in this record comes from a party press release that quotes the mayoral candidate rather than the trustee candidate.
