It is encouraging to see this case moving forward. Accountability matters when a democratically elected board is removed. www.saanichnews.com/local-news/b...

“Parents who feared losing a day’s pay, their boss’s goodwill or even their job tried to mask children’s symptoms with medications.” So true. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

While govt says there's no $ for public sector wage increases, it gives $570 million/yr to private schools. Let's redirect that to public schools and give teachers & support workers the increases they deserve. #bcpoli #bced @bctf @bcgeu @CUPEBC

It appears that this is continuing to happen intermittently.

These were individual voices coming together around a shared issue. The volume of messages reflects the depth and breadth of concern in the community — not a coordinated attempt to overwhelm, but a collective expression from families who care deeply about their children’s education.

Rather than relying on headline-grabbing cell phone bans, we should focus on a more thoughtful, comprehensive approach to managing tech use in schools. This will better equip youth for balanced, constructive use of cell phones in the long run. An interesting article by @pattibacchus.bsky.social

This is a great article! It clearly highlights how redirecting public funds to private schools undermines the resources needed for quality public education. Public schools are the foundation of our democracy and it is essential that we prioritize funding for them.

It’s concerning that the Greater Victoria School District was asked for a more detailed safety plan than other districts, despite their efforts to consult stakeholders and comply. Their dismissal by Minister Beare feels undemocratic and lacking in transparency.

An important dive into the privatization of public education, featuring insights from @pattibacchus and many others. A must-read, because our schools shape the future of our communities.

They nailed it. Hahaha.

“It is deeply concerning when government or other commentators incite antagonism against democratically elected officials who are simply trying to carry out their statutory duties, including calling for the board’s immediate termination.” www.timescolonist.com/opinion/comm... #bced #bcpoli

Let us also remember that Christy Clark oversaw significant cuts to public education and a shift towards privatization. As Premier, she faced criticism for underfunding schools, limiting resources, and failing to address the needs of teachers and students. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2014...
