🧵 If Kenney can put forward a Referendum on equalization at #ableg, #epsb can request referendum on:

1) education equalization (the weighted moving average) &
2) the draft K-6 curriculum.

Edmonton City Council can add the questions to #yegvote. I'll propose this tomorrow.
We’re not asking for a special deal, just a fair deal. Jason Kenney's equalization program is not fair for Children.

Despite their promise to maintain or increase funding for education, they have instead introduced a new formula that punishes growing Edmonton Schools.
We expect 2700 new students next year without one additional dollar to educate them.

School boards across Alberta have refused to pilot the draft K-6 curriculum, but the Minister remains intent on implementation.

Edmontonians will finally have the opportunity to be heard.
The two questions could seek:

1) The rejection of the Weighted-Moving-Average education equalization formula results in fewer dollars going to Edmonton students.

2) A rejection and a rewrite of the draft K-6 curriculum.

EPSB Letter to Minister requesting #ditchthedraft epsb.ca/media/epsb/our…
Let's let every voter know how Jason Kenney has Edmontonians paying more and getting less for Edmonton Students than anyone else in Alberta, and send a loud NO to the draft K-6 curriculum.

As an #EPSB Trustee and a #yegvote #yegcc candidate, I can't convey how incredibly frustrating this stupid, pointless, powerless referendum on equalization question is: a pointless distraction from Kenney's failures on jobs, economy, pipelines.
#EPSB and #CBE students receive fewer dollars per capita than any other school board in Alberta because of the failed #WMA brought in by the UCP.

Where's the fair deal for Calgary and Edmonton children?

Similarly, Edmonton and Calgary pay more in taxes, bear many more of the costs and yet receive fewer dollars in return.

Where's the fair deal for Calgary and Edmonton taxpayers?
