Tonight's announcement comes as a surprise to #EPSB . School divisions were not consulted on this shift. If we were, #EPSB would have shared the desire to move slowly, to listen to parents, to listen to boards.

The best choice in education is offered in PUBLIC education. Charters do not accept or have to accept all students. Expansion of charters = erosion of public education. #publiceducationmatters #yeg #EPSB

I've waited three decades to see a 29 hand in #cribbage . And today it happened... not for me, but for my 9 yr. old son! It's a one in 216,000 chance! #luckyday #summerbreak

Classes in all AB schools closed effective immediately. This is the right decision for our students, our families and our province. #abed #epsb

Families, please read #EPSB re-entry plan. It's based on what we know about COVID-19 right now and puts staff, student safety at the forefront. "We intend to revisit these measures throughout the year, in response to changing public health information, such as vaccination rates."

Tough day for #EPSB . Thinking of all staff and their families who are affected by today's announcement. Trustees will work hard to ensure these layoffs are temporary as promised by Minister LaGrange. These staff are valuable members of our school communities. #abed #yeg

Today is first-day-of-school eve for many. Today, though, I think of the thousands of #EPSB staff who have been hard at work preparing, dreaming, and eagerly anticipating. Today, I thank you for serving kids and families. Wishing you a good sleep tonight! #yeg

It's an incredible honour to be chosen by colleagues to serve as board chair. I'm humbled and look forward to carrying on the role of telling the story of Edmonton Public Schools, advocating for students, and working alongside division staff, families, and government to make it…

This is a missed opportunity & a move that would go a long way in keeping students & staff safe. Parents want & deserve to know when there is a positive case in their child's school. #EPSB #yeg @ABSchoolBoards #abed

Our Board has voted in favour of advocating to the provincial government to temporarily suspend PATs and diploma exams. This is a year unlike any other and we recognize those impacts for our students, staff and family. #EPSB 2/4

Thanks to many who have shared their concerns about the hate-filled attack at Rosslyn school. Thank you to the family who took time to meet with @EPSB_Super , @doniveson and myself. Together, we must move forward to a place where intolerance & hate do not happen. #yeg #epsb

I share this number because I believe in being transparent about the reality in #EPSB schools. But also because behind each number is a child, a family and thousands of students and staff impacted by a positive case. #yeg 2/3

Any cuts to education will affect our classrooms & our students. I strongly encourage the Minister of Education to consider those impacts as the government builds its budget. #ableg #abed #publiceducationmatters #EPSB

Today, #epsb Trustees voted to continue to collect class size data despite the province dropping this reporting requirement. Class size information is a critical tracking tool as we navigate challenging cuts to public education. #abed #yeg

A year ago today, a Sunday, I watched as @EPSB_Super and #EPSB staff showed what they're truly made of - care and compassion for students & families. The pivot started that night & it hasn't stopped. Thank you. #COVID19AB #yeg

The sooner, parents know what school looks like after the break, the better. Encouraged to hear greater clarity will be coming later this week. #yeg #epsb
