The question I am submitting is: "Will each of the six trustees — who have so far refused to meet with the district's Inclusive Education Working Group — agree to do so and hear their (excellent!) presentation prior to approving the 2025/26 preliminary operating budget?"

If you'd like to let @VSB39 trustee Chien know how you feel about his conduct, you can drop him a line at [email protected] #bced #vanpoli ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…
@BreshearsSherry @alfredchien1 @VanDPAC @PreetiFaridkot @RichardsonYVR @janetrfraser @victoriajungvan @reddyforchange That's is an absolutely inappropriate tweet by trustee @alfredchien1. This board has been appallingly unresponsive to sincere and desperate advocacy from parents whose children's educational needs are not being met by the @VSB39. He needs to apologize to them and the @VanDPAC.
South Vancouver DESPERATELY needs more swimming pools. A motion for a new one was recently voted down. This community, comprised of families and older residents, is drastically underserved. dailyhive.com/vancouver/sout…
Provincial legislation now requires plexes in 1st Shaughnessy and Kits Point. The whole farce shows what a failure our planning and political leadership is. Housing crisis? lol It's not too late to write in! Here are my comments, and the comment form: vancouver.ca/your-governmen…
This looks very promising for schools.
Yet the budget proposed for next year includes an 8.6% reduction ($1.6 Million) in substitute staff (‘TOCs’) and a decrease in the salaries for counsellors. Not a single proposed motion has been drafted by trustees to address these key budget shortfall. 2/4
Thanks for the update Lenny.
Research shows that children are eight times more likely to die being hit by an SUV or a light duty truck. For every 10 cm of increased Hood height the chance of mortality increases 22%. Why do we allow SUVs and these trucks in our cities near pedestrians or cyclists?
VSB Parents at Charles Dickens Elementary expressing their concerns about the accessibility of their new playground. Take a listen. #bced globalnews.ca/video/10418985…
Big thanks to @wrychrd for saying that a LOT of people live on arterial roads & deserve quiet, safe streets. The 15 yo Lord Byng student that was struck in January was hit on 16th which is an arterial with 3 schools on it. We need to think about solutions to make arterials safer.
This motion is relevant for all residents who live in Van, but I think it’s particularly important for VSB families. Vision Vancouver is asking people interested in improving road safety to write to Mayor and Council, preferably today before 5 if you can. visionzerovancouver.ca/2024/04/08/tak…
Great news. This is a change the @SquamishNation requested for Henry Hudson Elementary.

I really hope VSB trustees are paying attention to the number of EAs that have been cut this year from VSB schools. So many parents across the district reporting drops in support to kids. @victoriajungvan,@reddyforchange,@janetrfraser @RichardsonYVR.#bced tupperpac.com/letter-to-trus…
NEW STUDY: “Results suggest that children are eight times more likely to die when struck by a SUV compared to those struck by a passenger car.” Speed kills, but so does size. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
The new Coal Harbour Elementary School w childcare center and 60 affordable homes above is well on its way to completion. 😀#VanPoli
