At yesterday's board meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the Edmonton Public Schools 10 Year Facilities Plan and 3 Year Capital Plan.

These were tough conversations. Here's why. 🧵

The Board of Trustees is looking for feedback on our calendar policy. The draft provides direction for scheduling breaks for students with a focus on diverse days of significance. Big thanks to many who helped guide #EPSB in this direction. #yeg https://t.co/QY9kPq3PLa?

[Trisha Estabrooks (she/her) @TrishEstabrooks]

The sentiment I keep hearing is from former and current #EPSB students who repeatedly shared with Trustees how tough it is to choose between celebrating a faith day with family over academics. The proposed policy tackles that.

On Tuesday, the Board of Trustees approved changes to the 2024-25 school year calendar, including an earlier start to the school year & addition of a fall break. The changes reflect the finalized diploma exam schedule & newly ratified collective agreement: https://t.co/hwjZw8yH9x

I have been posting on the medical issues of the UCP proposal but I have serious concerns about the changes to Sex Ed - why?

As an ObGyn I see the direct negative consequences when people lack knowledge about sex and reproduction

Change to opt-in is a barrier to this knowledge
