Shifting Stephen Lecce from Min of Ed does not absolve him of the death of Landyn Ferris. The death at minimum in part attributable to the Min sitting for 2 years on his own Ministry report on standards for special education.

An almost 10% hike in the College of Early Childhood Educators’ annual registration fee is unacceptable. RECEs are a mostly female, low-income workforce who must pay this fee to work in the profession they love. Read JP Hornick’s letter to the College: bit.ly/3A09tCc
