I would like this ABC Vancouver trustee to tell us all what he has done during his time in office to improve support for students with special needs, so parents don't need to advocate like this for their kids to have access to the support they're entitled to. I'm waiting. #vanpoli

I'll have more to say here tomorrow re Alfred and his poor performance as a trustee and how badly he is letting down students. But for now I'll just alert the OIPC BC that the names shown in his tweet are easily identifiable private individuals. (Take it down Alfred.)

A VSB trustee called parent emails about disability supports “spam” and posted parents' emails publicly on Twitter. These were lawful messages from caregivers protesting VSB cutbacks to inclusive education. The public disclosure of private emails violates trust—and may breach

ABC School Trustee revealing names of concerned parents rather than doing his job and considering and responding to their concerns. Extremely irresponsible conduct from an elected representative. #bced #vanpoli #vsb

Tell me you didn't bother to open these emails without telling me you didn't even attempt to read these emails. Many of these contained personal stories, and this trustee decided to share caregiver names without even opening them, calling this advocacy spam. 1/

Actually Alfred, our schools + students deserve better than an entitled group of ABC trustees. I also wrote one of these letters, many of our kids aren’t receiving an equitable education, all thanks to you + your colleagues who continue to fail Vancouver students. Shame. #bced

For anyone wondering what Tamara Taggart was quoting from a ABC Vancouver trustee, here is a screenshot - but this time the names are blocked for privacy. #bcpoli #bced

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?"

Listening to these Vancouver School Board trustees talk about how hard it is to balance the budget while sitting in a room with a ridiculous number of screens facing every direction and refusing to cut head office admin staff or CATERED BREAKFASTS is maddening.

There's a civic election coming up in 2026. Throw abolishing the Park Board in as a referendum question and let the voters decide. #vanpoli #bcpoli

Don't be fooled by a change in process... without another $9B we won't possibly resolve school overcrowding. There's no money to build schools. Districts are using money meant for textbooks to fix aging roofs and lead pipes. David Eby Bowinn Ma Lisa Beare can fix this. #bcpoli

With the loss of all our daytime custodians in Kamloops SD 73 schools who will run the water for 5 minutes every morning to flush the lead out of the drinking fountains? Asking for my kid..... #sd73 #bcpoli #bced #students

This makes what we heard at the last board meeting about making “hard choices” even more unpalatable. Alison Ogden is years behind on following legislation and having an actual accessibility plan in place and for that she’s getting a hefty raise? Where is the accountability?

The top brass at Vancouver School Board don't seem to be affected by budget constraints (while lowest-paid workers get wage cuts) and they apparently can't afford to pay living wages to people who drive kids with disabilities. I believe there have been raises since these numbers. #vanpoli #bced
