Remember when Danielle Smith condemned the "arrogance" of a government for passing laws in a matter of days?

Now she's rammed through a law stripping teachers' charter rights in a single day.

Seems the "democratic process" no longer matters to her now that she's in power

Check out the ATA's new campaign. Alberta spends THE LEAST on public education per student in all of Canada. #abed #ableg #StopTheExcuses #TheLeast #PublicEducation

The @reginarams welcomed to the floor at the men’s basketball game to celebrate their Hardy Cup victory.

[Canada West @CanadaWest]

The first team to go 3-5 in the regular season and win the Hardy Trophy.

Everyone may have counted them out.

But they never stopped believing.

Now, they're Canada West champions.

Congrats, @reginarams 🐏

Unless @AbEd budget for operational funding to school authorities increases significantly, AB’s per-student funding cannot increase and will continue to lag behind the rest of the provinces; AB has the lowest per-student funding in Canada. https://t.co/unmr5WuNGC @demetriosnAB

[jason schilling @schill_dawg]

Then it's time to address the shortfall in funding for our public education system. #stoptheexcuses

[Lory Iovinelli @LoryIovinelli]

Next year, @CCSD_edu operating costs will exceed $700 million for the first time,
and result in an operating deficit of $21.5 million. We will be forced to fund this
deficit through dwindling district savings. #abedfunding #CCSDAdvocacy

With new @abed walk limits, more students need transportation next year. Rising operating costs, and the number of students/bus routes, mean we will need to spend an additional $6 million. We need appropriate funding to accommodate rising costs. #CCSDAdvocacy #abed @demetriosnAB

[mary martin @maryltmartin]

Government funding has not kept pace with rising costs to operate schools, including utilities, maintenance, insurance, carbon taxes, etc. Fixed costs have increased by more than 50% since 2018-19. #CCSDAdvocacy @CCSD_edu #CatholicEducation #abed #abpoli #ableg @demetriosnAB

A gesture of love for someone who cannot reciprocate: this is to imitate God’s selfless style.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us pray for peace. May the Lord grant peace to martyred Ukraine, as it suffers heavy bombardment, and to Israel and Palestine. May there be peace in the Holy Land. May the Lord grant all of us His gift of Peace this Easter.

There were more than 6,500 requests for various supports in @CCSDedu schools last year -nearly 600 more requests than the previous year. We must ensure we can help students as requests continue to rise. #abedfunding #CCSDAdvocacy #abed #abpoli #ableg @demetriosnAB @CCSD_edu

BHM-Presentation from Mrs Ndirangu (ESII-EA) and her friend Sylla. Their message of ‘Ubuntu’ an African word meaning ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’. Focus on how not to fear each other’s differences but embrace others with love, honesty and humility. @CCSD_edu

[mary martin @maryltmartin]

We need appropriate funding to continue to expand access to our wide range of supports for @CCSDedu students struggling with mental health and other issues that affect their wellbeing. #abedfunding #CCSDAdvocacy #abed #abpoli #ableg @demetriosnAB

[mary martin @maryltmartin]

More than half of @CCSDedu students are experiencing stress and sleep difficulty. They deserve support and resources to help them through these challenges and succeed at school. #abedfunding #CCSDAdvocacy #abed #abpoli #ableg @demetriosnAB @CCSD_edu

Utilization in Sector 9 East is 93%, a 3% increase from last year. We need appropriate funding to accommodate growing enrolment. #abedfunding #CCSDAdvocacy #abed #abpoli #ableg @demetriosnAB @CCSD_edu
