Public dollars belong to public schools. FULL STOP.
Take action now to tell the Premier & the Education Minister that Albertans do not support public subsidization of private education. We certainly do not support building private schools with public $

Today, we're launching a campaign with @SOSAlberta for an idea so simple, it boggles the mind that we even have to organize for it --- that PUBLIC funds belong in PUBLIC schools.

Not charter schools.

Not private schools.

Public education is being actively eroded to create private markets

“Once we can name it, we can resist privatization as a collective. There is no time to waste in reclaiming public schools for the public good.”

“Alberta’s K-12 students are once again left behind in this Budget. Disgracefully, Alberta spends the least on public education, while simultaneously spending the most on private education in Canada. The UCP government is continuing their destruction of public education." -Moussa

School support workers in Fort McMurray are putting up photos and ribbons in honour of kids with complex needs that can't attend school right now.

The Government of Alberta needs to come to the bargaining table, give workers the wage increases they deserve, and end the strike.

“Students can no longer accept scraps from this govt. The status quo is no longer sustainable. We are facing a critical juncture in our province where our public education system has been eroded beyond recognition.” - Medeana Moussa, Exec. Director

This is the principled honesty we need from trustee leaders throughout Alberta right now. We call on other elected representatives to use their voices and clarify to the public that the province is enforcing wage caps as part of their larger assault on Alberta’s public education.

[Trisha Estabrooks (she/her) @TrishEstabrooks]

Yesterday I resigned as an EPSB Trustee. I believe support staff deserve fair wages for the essential work they do for students, staff & families in Edmonton public schools. I stand with them in their fight for adequate funding from the provincial gov't for public education.

“It's sort of like getting private school without paying for private school, that's the way we saw it," - a charter school parent admits to CTV Edmonton

Charter schools are exclusive schools - they are not public schools.

We strongly condemn the UCP government’s outright attack on trans youth and students’ rights. And we condemn the UCP government’s regressive barriers to access sexual and health education for all students.

“Public schools must provide education to all students. In contrast, private schools select students based on tuition affordability and other criteria like a student’s ability.”

Charter schools are not public schools. They are lucrative private operations that siphon public resources to serve private interests through back room deals all while eroding the public education system. #ABleg

Public schools only run because of the people in them. Education workers support our students in classrooms each and every day. We were proud to stand with them at the province wide Education Day rallies as they fight for fair pay and dignified working conditions. @CupeAB
