@HaneyInkslinger @VSB39 @janetrfraser @estiemgonzalez @Frasergb @HamberPAC @CarmenCho17 @OliverHanson @awong39 @reddyforchange @ParrottBarb @Rob_Fleming Kits went through an extensive community consultation, early in the process. That enabled the development a plan that identified priorities for the new school. The board then advocated for those priorities to be included in the project.

I’m old enough to remember when school boards advocated on behalf of their districts - the @VSB39 needs to go to bat for the #Hamber community. This is unacceptable. globalnews.ca/news/4840972/e… #bced #vanpoli #bcpoli #GetSeismicRight

@MickeyD33 I have nothing against young hockey players dreaming about playing for their country. I like hockey. I go to games. What I object to is the belief of many players that ALL kids dream of playing hockey. That’snot true. Of course it can’t be true.

@ParrottBarb I think I know what point you're trying to make, Barb...but what do you have against young hockey players dreaming of playing for their country?
English
Guess what, Junior hockey players. All kids don’t dream of playing hockey for Canada. A lot of kids dream of having food on the table, sharing meals with their family, and being warm.

@JaerodThorn @davegrapes @JeanSwanson_ @steeletalk Jaerod, I read lots of empathy in your comment towards may who have legitimatereasons for not being able to “work their butts” off, like we do or did.

@pattibacchus @CarrieBercic @VSB39 @janetrfraser @fishtron @CarmenCho17 @reddyforchange @estiemgonzalez @awong39 @OliverHanson @Frasergb @xpeyelementary @SAHoffman I was thinking about this. What about a House of Learning for elementary and secondary Aboriginal focus in the park by Templeton Pool and Secondary School?

@CarrieBercic @VSB39 @janetrfraser @fishtron @CarmenCho17 @reddyforchange @estiemgonzalez @awong39 @OliverHanson @Frasergb @ParrottBarb @xpeyelementary We did initial consultation through doing and summer of 2016. Was overwhelmingly positive response. @SAHoffman

Hope the newly elected @VSB39 follows up on this. Had positive response from MPs I spoke with about it. Could be an amazing building. #Reconciliation @janetrfraser @fishtron @CarmenCho17 @reddyforchange @estiemgonzalez @awong39 @OliverHanson @Frasergb @ParrottBarb @xpeyelementary

Trustee at the time, @pattibacchus, made this exclent motion, which was subsequently fully supported by the Aboriginal Enhancement Advisory Committee. Then the Board was fired and it disappeared off the radar. #bced 4/4

I’d take my wife wherever she wants to go. She has struggled with flight anxiety, but has made great progress! #YVR25Million

I submitted a question for question period regarding Xpey' Elementary and a 2016 passed motion on seeking federal funding for building a replacement school and upgrades. One of those things that disappeared into the ether under the unelected appointed trustee. #bced

@ParrottBarb I'm a Langara journalism student researching a story on the Xpey school. In your platform you said you'd work to get more support an funding for the school. Would you be willing to speak with me further about what you plan to do now that you've been elected?

@shenshen83 Should it? It does. How can it not. I believe the asker of this question is confusing political with partisan.
English
@VSB39 Hmmm. I don’t see a collective agreement on the table. Low salary is one of the major reasons teachers from other provinces won’t come here.

@OneCityVan @BreshearsSherry @VSB39 @janetrfraser @awong39 @reddyforchange @estiemgonzalez @fishtron I absolutely agree the needs of these students aren’t always being met. No time from Resource teacher. No time to collaborate to modify programme. I, too, will not support cuts which effect our vulnerable students.
English
@BreshearsSherry @VSB39 @janetrfraser @awong39 @reddyforchange @estiemgonzalez @ParrottBarb @fishtron FWIW, OneCity voted against the reduction of non-enrolling staff in the last budget, which would have contributed to ensuring levels support for all students, including those with varying learning needs. And we’ll do it again. (1/2)

Here is something newly elected @VSB39 trustees can turn their attention to right away @janetrfraser @awong39 @reddyforchange @estiemgonzalez @ParrottBarb @fishtron #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth
BCEdAccess@BCEdAccess
Why are we highlighting #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth and #ADHDAwarenessMonth ? Neither of these conditions have a supplementary funding category in #bced. While they are expected to be supported as with all students, their educational needs are often not met. #bcpoli

Congrats 2 @COPEVancouver Candidates John Irwin, @gwengiesbrecht, @swanson4council and @ParrottBarb for gaining seats this election! Looking forward to supporting Barb Parrott to get the #SchoolsWeNeed hope the new @VSB39 Trustees R on board!

I am so disappointed that @CarrieBercic's, @EricaJaaf's and particularly my fearless running mate's, @DianaDaydream, articulate, passionate, and knowledgeable voices won’t be at the VSB table.
