President Broady to Minister Farnworth and Minister Singh:

“Vulnerable and at-risk groups, including individuals in correctional centres, stand to greatly benefit from education. Unfortunately, the current course-registration funding model is inherently unsuited to the realities of correctional centres where the year-round population changes daily and teachers are additionally dealing with barriers.”

President Broady to Minister Lore and Minister Singh:

“The recently released report, Don’t Look Away, speaks directly to the K-12 systemic concerns and we are fully committed to supporting the five key areas for collective action. Additional targeted funding, as per our AGM motion, would support school districts in this work.”

President Broady to Parliamentary Secretary Chant, Minister Conroy and Minister Singh:

“It is our goal to ensure that the Accessible British Columbia Act is fully recognized in every classroom in the province. Districts throughout B.C. are committed to the task, but operating funding alone cannot address the needs and goals outlined in the act.”

President Broady to B.C. party leaders: 

“As the election approaches in October, emphasizing the importance of StrongStart BC programs and the need for appropriate funding in your campaign will resonate with voters across B.C. by signaling the value you place in public education and early learning initiatives.”
