2026 · EducationCampaign pledge
Students feeling safe and supported

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the candidate's own campaign page. It describes an aim rather than a measurable step, and no budget or policy change is attached to it.
What still needs checking
Which board policy Doucas would change first to deliver this.
Vote Vancouver told The Tyee, through mayoral candidate Rebecca Bligh, that student wellbeing and safety come first with all technology in schools, and that any school board decision on technology including AI tools should be made in consultation with students, families and teachers.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party's position, given by the party's mayoral candidate. The Tyee reported on August 11, 2026 that Vote Vancouver had not yet released a platform or policy on student access to AI chatbots, and the party's platform pages set out council commitments with no school board section. No statement by Doucas on the subject was found.
What still needs checking
Whether Vote Vancouver publishes a school board platform, and whether Doucas supports a pause on student chatbot accounts.

Where Do Vancouver Parties Stand on AI?
Survey of party positions on artificial intelligence in schools and on data centres. Doucas is named as one of three Vote Vancouver school board candidates, and the party's position is given by mayoral candidate Rebecca Bligh rather than by the trustee candidates.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No independent reporting about Doucas beyond candidate listings and one party survey article was found. The campaign page does not name the elementary school, the provincial sport organisation, the employers or the years, so none of those claims could be checked against an outside source. Vote Vancouver's platform pages set out council commitments and contain no school board section, so the record has no costed school promises.
