Strong public education is built on community support. We need to come together—parents, teachers, and citizens—to demand the resources and respect Alberta students deserve.

Interesting read on the upcoming school trustee elections. The article points out how special interest groups are targeting school board elections. It's vital that teachers, parents, and others pay close attention to the platforms for candidates in trustee elections.

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians.
There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

“The banning of books is a hallmark of censorship, not democracy.”
Literature is a lifeline for many students. Through the word, we learn about the world around us.
It is time to end this dangerous censorship and promote critical thinking in schools.

"To accommodate these students, administration said the school’s library, music room and wellness centre will all be converted into classroom space."
This is why teachers voted to strike.
And why we should all support them.

Teachers are struggling to manage complexity in the modern classroom. The Minister is pleased that his government was able to provide more funding for education…but Alberta still has the lowest funding per student in the country.
