Long Thread, with a big announcement at the end.
Pls bear with us.
For almost 6 years, SOS AB has been uncompromising in our dedication to universal, accessible and equitable public education.

2.
 We believe all public dollars should go to public education, that public education must be barrier free, and redefined as unable to be selective in ANY way.
If you want to know more about who we are and what we believe please read:

Every article, every interview, every collaboration, every post & every tweet, is rooted in confronting racism, classism, ableism, homo/transphobia,misogyny, xenophobia &segregation

🧵This article lays out the plan Kenney is putting into play here in #ABed. Considering #Bill15 (promotes & eases legislation around charter schools) in conjunction w this govts complete lack of leadership to reopen schools safely-can only be interpreted as market creation.
2/x
 Lack of leadership, planning and funding for a safe reopening of Alberta public schools is not incompetence, it’s strategic.
It’s deliberate undermining of public education.

 “each principal would work with the parents and students at his or her particular school to develop a setup that makes sense for them.”
Imagine what that would look like & how it would differ for communities in Forest Lawn vs Elbow Park? #abed #ableg

🧵 Last week Minister @AdrianaLaGrange scolded the CBE, citing among other things their inability to put students first.

One would expect a leader in her position to lead by example: so let’s take a look back at some of her initiatives over the past year or so.
#abed #ableg
1. @AdrianaLaGrange Delayed school budgets until 6 weeks into the school year (Oct 2019) creating fiscal uncertainty for school boards. Not great for students!

2. @AdrianaLaGrange;
Quietly rolled back requirement to report class sizes. Also, not great for kids!

 Watch:
🍎The effects and growth of online learning (virtual schools)
🍎How inequity widens as a result of funding following students to schools of *choice*
🍎The possibilities (Union City) available when public education is properly resourced.

IMPT: PLS READ
The #ABEd Ministry released a Choice In Education survey yesterday.
Our position on this survey:
-The survey is poorly designed and ineffective for collecting data as multiple responses can originate from the same IP address or multiple hard copies.
2/
 Because of this it is clear the survey is strictly for optics & the illusion of engagement.
*Choice* to this government refers to more charter and private schools and continued underfunding of public education.
The Choice In Education Act is likely already written. #abed
3/
 No one will be moving the needle by replying to a poorly executed survey.
**HOWEVER**
This affords us (Public Education supporters) a unique opportunity to email, en masse, a protest submission, speaking with ONE voice in support of public education.
