The City of Ottawa’s list of certified candidates shows Jason Glover’s nomination for trustee of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board in Zone 11 dated August 21, 2026. The City’s open data file shows no withdrawal. The other candidates in the zone are Brendan Ray and Alan Riddell. The website the City list gives him is a VoteMate profile, a page on a voter information site where candidates add their own text. CTV News Ottawa lists him in its guide of September 9, 2026.
His VoteMate profile says he is an active OCDSB parent of two, a former three-year school council chair, a former vice president of the Ottawa-Carleton Assembly of School Councils (the profile’s summary line calls him a co-chair of it), and a current member of the board’s statutory Parent Involvement Committee. It says he is running to bring independent governance to the board and to make sure tax dollars support front-line classrooms, and that effective governance needs practical oversight focused on classrooms.
The profile lists eight priorities: protecting special education and cutting waits for assessments; supporting newcomer families and students learning English; equal resources for English and French streams, and special education support inside French Immersion; renewing facilities in older schools, naming Sawmill Creek, Fielding Drive, Bayview and Ridgemont; reliable school buses and coordination with before-and-after-school care; Indigenous education and Truth and Reconciliation; arts and specialized learning pathways; and classroom-first governance with early consultation of school councils.
The board’s page on its Parent Involvement Committee lists no members, so his membership is unconfirmed, and the board’s meeting records were not opened. The profile gives two different titles for his role at the Assembly of School Councils. The board’s page says that since June 27, 2025 the board has been under supervision by the Minister of Education, and that decisions normally made by trustees are made by the appointed Supervisor, Robert Plamondon. The sources read hold no complaint or allegation about him.
