Kal Russell

Kal is a passionate advocate for public education. He retired in 2026 after 36 years as a teacher and school administrator. For the past 21 years, he has had the privilege of serving as a school administrator across all three school levels in Saanich, including Parkland Secondary, North Saanich Middle, Sidney Elementary, Stelly’s Secondary, and the Saanich International Student Program. This experience has given him a unique, balanced perspective on the strengths and challenges of our education system.

Kal is excited to continue serving the community in a new role as a school trustee. He is committed to working collaboratively with parents, staff, and his fellow trustees to ensure the highest-quality public education for the young people in our community.
