In an effort to share widely, I will be live tweeting in English the Edmonton area francophone school board meeting tonight starting at 6pm. You can join the meeting live (in french) at @Jantafrench imitation is the sincerest form of flattery #frab
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo 3/ moving quickly to point 6.1 St. Albert schools
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo 4/ Superintendent explaining steps taken; met parents from Spruce Grove to discuss their project; met parents with questions at school La Mission about moving kids to @Ecole_AT
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 5/ Met with parents from school La Mission - parents noted logistical challenges (associated with moving grade 5-6 to the junior high school); looking for precision on certain topics, sports programs differ in the 2 schools, hours of lunch, recess - schedule logistics
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 7/ Appropriate supervision concerns, need books appropriate for the grade 5-6; A: the Board will not take from La Mission will buy new items (my Q: do we get money from the Province for that)
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 8/ discussion regarding types of programs available at the new school as compared to the La Mission school - parents would have wanted to be consulted, but answer is that there is not really another equivalent solution and something has to be done
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 10/ Superintendent reporting that not really another solution and have to do something - my Q, I assume we are not in breach of the fire code or occupancy permit, so the fact that we are "over capacity" is a measure from the department of education?
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 11/ Report on the issue of moving grade 5-6 students done from Superintendent - now any Q's?
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 12/ Q from Trustee Jean Daniel Tremblay about the 2 different sport/study programs available at the 2 schools - whether we can guarantee parents same cossts/programming? A: we will try to do so bu we will see what the options are
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 13/ Again from JD Tremblay, what was the nature of the objections from the parents? A: the mixing of the younger kids with Jr High, that they like the school, dissapointed that the kids can't finish there, some security concern expressed
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 14/ JD Tremblay noting that as Trustee taking into account the report from the Board on the growth rates and occupancy rates in the @CSCNInfo schools - re. was the decision made too late
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 15/ Supt. noting report received end of year 2019, discussions in January 2020 to plan for 20-21 school year
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT 16/ Trustee Steve Daigle @steve83956696 noting we were refused portables? A: Supt. notes not really denied formally, but feels that the portables requested would not have been enough - My note, so we could ask for more... equally temporary
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 17/no further questions - proposition to proceed with school reconfiguration with school 5-12 at @Ecole_AT
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 18/ Motion passed - and Boum, just like that #frab, you lost your exclusive junior school
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 19/ Imma editorialize a bit - that I would fight tooth and nail if that were at @Ecole_JM . We didn't fight for that school for nothing
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM 21/ Trustee JD Tremblay noting again further changes made recently to other Edmonton boards calendars, such as limiting school days - Q would we look at doing something similar?
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM 22/ A: some things like that we have done such as the PD days, we could perhaps look at it (cancelling school days), not excluded but it could be a something to consider - school bus travel times would be a factor
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM 23/ Always some changes to the calendar, not huge this year. Note: always an ongoing issue of trying to make the calendar work with the multitude of other boards that the @CSCNInfo overlaps with -motion passed to adopt the calendar for Boreal and St. Christophe schools
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM 24/ Supt. noting we could look at announcing the calendar 2 years in advance, planning further ahead
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM 25/ Point 8.1 President report by @TanyaSaumure - noting the meeting at @Ecole_MJ with @michaelle-Jean was an excellent day - great to have her visit!

@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM @TanyaSaumure @Ecole_MJ @michaelle @LailaGoodridge @UAlberta_CSJ @ACSTANews @EdmCathSchools @archedmonton @Ecole_ML @Ecole_GR @NathalieLachan6 @ealary47 59/ still good hope of making the transition come about in the next weeks

I'm not here to assign blame, it doesn't matter in the least. I think what has occurred is a demonstration of the lack of the internal capacity
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM @TanyaSaumure @Ecole_MJ @michaelle @LailaGoodridge @UAlberta_CSJ @ACSTANews @EdmCathSchools @archedmonton @Ecole_ML @Ecole_GR @NathalieLachan6 @ealary47 62/ the @CSCNInfo does not benefit from the economies of scale that @EPSBNews or @EdmCathSchools enjoy -this plays out in transport, PUF funding, you name it
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM @TanyaSaumure @Ecole_MJ @michaelle @LailaGoodridge @UAlberta_CSJ @ACSTANews @EdmCathSchools @archedmonton @Ecole_ML @Ecole_GR @NathalieLachan6 @ealary47 @EPSBNews 63/ I hope that @AdrianaLaGrange will continue to hear the feedback and with the help of @LailaGoodridge that Francophone schools will receive the care and attention that they require, all in infrastrusture, curriculum and funding

It sounded like the focus was on working with the 2 existing sites, with no real hard consensus, or looking at other schools in the Board
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM @TanyaSaumure @Ecole_MJ @michaelle @LailaGoodridge @UAlberta_CSJ @ACSTANews @EdmCathSchools @archedmonton @Ecole_ML @Ecole_GR @NathalieLachan6 @ealary47 @EPSBNews @AdrianaLaGrange 65/ I think that once as a Board working to meet the rights of the parents who are its electors fixes an issue, it should not compromise what it has achieved - it sort of feels like the Taylor Hall trade... seriously though protect what you have
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM @TanyaSaumure @Ecole_MJ @michaelle @LailaGoodridge @UAlberta_CSJ @ACSTANews @EdmCathSchools @archedmonton @Ecole_ML @Ecole_GR @NathalieLachan6 @ealary47 @EPSBNews @AdrianaLaGrange 66/ I am a parent who would want to send their kids to Maurice Lavalle school @Ecole_ML, it is the only francophone school by right available to me, and I do not accept that it is not a pressing problem in terms of its lack of equivalence
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM @TanyaSaumure @Ecole_MJ @michaelle @LailaGoodridge @UAlberta_CSJ @ACSTANews @EdmCathSchools @archedmonton @Ecole_ML @Ecole_GR @NathalieLachan6 @ealary47 @EPSBNews @AdrianaLaGrange 67/ As it was with the push for the first francophone school in Edmonton in 1984 Ecole Maurice Lavallee - you have to say what you need, and we should say what is true
@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM @TanyaSaumure @Ecole_MJ @michaelle @LailaGoodridge @UAlberta_CSJ @ACSTANews @EdmCathSchools @archedmonton @Ecole_ML @Ecole_GR @NathalieLachan6 @ealary47 @EPSBNews @AdrianaLaGrange 68/ looks like we are still on the break

@Jantafrench @CSCNInfo @Ecole_AT @steve83956696 @Ecole_JM @TanyaSaumure @Ecole_MJ @michaelle @LailaGoodridge @UAlberta_CSJ @ACSTANews @EdmCathSchools @archedmonton @Ecole_ML @Ecole_GR @NathalieLachan6 @ealary47 @EPSBNews @AdrianaLaGrange @Ecole_SV 73/ yes it is Legal new school - Q: by Steve about meeting with the ACFA in Legal (they currently share a site/space)- yeah Legal new school!
