To remove vocational training is like promoting welfare, see the big picture, cut from the top not the bottom. #giveourkidsachance #openyoureyes #PWSDCuts

Lets see if @ParkWestSD answers any of these questions on Twitter where everyone can see or if they hide behind politician talk and refuse to tell us how things really are. Shame on everyone who scolded my child today for participating in Democracy for the 1st time! #PWSDCuts

If only someone important would talk about what great things these awesome courses are. Oh wait, look at this: https://t.co/3CK3Id9Wuh @ParkWestSD #PWSDCuts

Question 7: Who in administration did not understand that the fibre optic project would cost us $40,000 more than originally stated? This person should have to pay that money out of their own pocket or be fired. Does the buck not stop at the top anymore? #PWSDCuts @ParkWestSD

Question 6: Were teachers approached with buyout packages for soon to retire staff? Why does it have to be these awesome opportunities that are cut? Why does Birtle Collegiate have to lose their excellent grade 5 teacher over this? My child is crushed! #PWSDCuts @ParkWestSD

Question 5: How much money did it cost to build the cosmo lab and start the other vocational courses? Did we spend millions of dollars only to save 10% of that or less by cutting the programs this year?! #PWSDCuts @ParkWestSD

Question 4: How many non-teachers that work at division office are we paying? Do we really need two numeracy and literacy coordinators? Is a person to show other teachers how to use a computer worth more than my child’s grade 5 teacher? #PWSDCuts @ParkWestSD

Question 3: Why are band programs worth putting money into but trades & nurses aide programs are not? #PWSDCuts @ParkWestSD

[ConcernedParentBCI @BCI_Parent]

Question 2: Why are tax dollars paying for “professional development” trips to Las Vegas and other exotic locales? The PWSD proposed budget says teachers get $300,000 for professional development. Vegas vs Nurses Aides… Anyone want to chime in? #PWSDCuts #WhatHappensInVegas?

Question 1: Does @sdavid222 (our superintendent) have a higher salary than the Premier? Read this article for more info: https://t.co/Ao4F47tBNY Is it right that we cut awesome classes when two big shots make money like this? Any cuts to their salaries #PWSDCuts @ParkWestSD

I have several questions for @ParkWestSD. When I try to talk with them they always offer to give a vague email, but I say instead, let's put the information on a public place like Twitter where everyone can see it. #PWSDCuts

[ConcernedParentBCI @BCI_Parent]

Great to see our students speak up. It appears that @ParkWestSD only wants them to be critical thinkers if they’re quietly in agreement with everything administration puts out such as #PWSDCuts. Learners today, mindless followers tomorrow?

I’m Tweeting from an anonymous account because my child was told they had to take down a Tweet today that said that they felt bullied by the Park West School Division. Poor professionals… getting bullied by teenagers. @ParkWestSD #PWSDCuts #FreeCountry?
