While additional funding is appreciated - predictable and sustainable budgets are necessary for school divisions and staff to efficiently plan for the school year.

All educators should normalize these statements:
✨“I don’t have the capacity to add that to my plate right now.”
✨ “Weekends are for family.”
✨ “I only respond to emails during office hours.”
Know your job description & be firm with your boundaries. Protect your mental health.

I've seen enough "SK school division forced to lay off X teachers" stories this week to wonder if voting for the SaskParty qualifies as child neglect. The last thing kids need after the pandemic is fewer resources and teaching staff.
