Jed Handmer
I am a workforce development professional with 14 years experience at organisation, industry and national level in various industries, including health, community services, government - and education.

In 2008/9 I was a member of the small reform team that developed the Independent Public Schools program, increasing autonomy and putting key decisions (e.g. staff appointments) in the hands of school leadership instead of distant bureaucrats.

From my observation, Darlington Primary doesn't want for much - it has a happy, emotionally intelligent staff culture, great physical environment, quality leadership, obvious community engagement - and the best canteen in the state. As such I assume the Councillors' main role is not messing up the good standards of community support for the staff that are (co)raising our kids so well.

In addition to my lengthy experience of policy, governance, risk management, influencing government agencies, and other things that I assume are relevant... I am more importantly decent on the tools, and keen to explore even more groovy adventure play equipment, learning gardens and amenities
