@CanardBrun @barbjustason @melaniecheng123 @SipsintheCity @alfredchien1 @PreetiFaridkot @RichardsonYVR @janetrfraser @victoriajungvan @reddyforchange @BCSTA_News @Vote4ABC @CanardBrun The comments harmed DPAC - its Chair (me), our leaders and our volunteers. This is just one example of many to suppress parents' voices. There are processes being used @VSB39 to shut us down and minimize our legislative right to participate in decisions.

@kpwerker Thank you so much for joining us!! It is a start. It was the first in person meeting in many years, and I’m proud of the work our members did to create this opportunity! Let’s continue to grow and create more chances to learn and engage.
@parents4TCP @VSB39 We will be using the data collected from this survey to speak on behalf of parents at the VSB Education Plan Committee meeting on May 15 as the stakeholders representing parents.
@parents4TCP @VSB39 Respectfully, this survey is put together by Vancouver DPAC not the VSB. As well, the current outcome of this survey is not public and VSB nor your organization has access to the responses. Please correct your post. Thank you.

prompt VSB to work directly with these stakeholders, understand their concerns, and learn from their expertise to address this urgent issue. 3/3 #bced #inclusion #publiceducation #vancouver
We hope that hearing from these 5 unions, who employ staff who work directly in classrooms, and from parents of children who are directly impacted by the changes made to SSAs this year, will 2/3
