Alberta schools are facing a severe space crisis. The provincial government desperately needs a plan to fast track the building (plus adequate staffing) of schools to catch up to years of accumulated enrollment growth. calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…
This Manitoba based article re: dangers of outsourcing education to private entities also applies to Alberta. Note that Enriched Academy which is providing some of Alberta's financial literacy curriculum is also being contracted to do this in Manitoba. winnipeg-can.newsmemory.com/?publink=14dc3…

This is a very real and prominent threat to the stability of public education in Alberta. We still have time to organize and reclaim public education but it will require advocates to build power, mobilize resources and work together across sectors. teachers.ab.ca/news/supporter…

This is a reflection of the strength of public education: public schools have award winning teachers with diverse expertise. But, privatizers market the myth of “niche” private & charter schools like STEM or nature progs as a cover just to skim students. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
A thriving public education system built on universality, equity & creative freedom is achievable. Estonia’s system shows that kids don’t need to be streamed into boutique programs, and comprehensive public education can be fertile spaces for all. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
“We are deeply disappointed with this draft curriculum and concerned about the lack of transparency in the curriculum development process.” alberta-curriculum-analysis.ca/an-open-letter…
Alberta’s charter school system has not delivered on its original premise as sites of ‘new pedagogy/ innovation.’ Instead, they are hotbeds of privatization which are allowed to skim students. They should be folded under public boards for accountability or declared fully private.
“School choice” is a euphemism for privatization which benefits the most advantaged. If all “choices” are not universally accessible then it comes down to the school choosing who can attend.

“Charter schools are private schools in disguise because they are privately managed and privately governed. This means the financial operations, administration, and program delivery are performed by a private entity who are not accountable to the public” pressprogress.ca/new-data-shows…
Every 4 years, ~$1 billion of AB public dollars are diverted to fund private K-12 schools. #ABEd

@demetriosnAB 93% of Albertan’s choose public school. UCP wants a voucher system like in AZ. “School choice” ultimately takes options away from families allowing schools to turn kids away. A quality, universal public education system is essential and UCP has been undermining it for years
This is the most draconian legislation ever introduced in Canada. It is a full on attack against trans and 2SLGBTQ+ communities. It is not only immoral, it is illegal. There is no evidence or research to support any of these recommendations. This is ideological warfare. #abpoli
Gender identity can be a hard thing to talk about, especially when you are involved. But this conversation is extremely important and parental involvement is critical. Kids need to know we love and support them. My message to all Albertans:
Now would be a great time to demonstrate the "trust" part of trustee and take a stand against this government's disastrous anti trans policy and its gutting of sex education, @yyCBEdu.
