ASBA represents membership from 60+ public, Catholic & francophone school boards.
Proud of ASBA member boards for supporting #EPSB's proposed position statement:
- opt-out for sex ed is working just fine
- board autonomy to determine our own policies
Let's hope gov't listens.

Kudos to Alberta School Boards Association for a well done FGM & many thanks to members for passing two positions brought forward by Edmonton Public:
1. Funding adjusted to inflation
2. opt-out for sex ed + board autonomy to set policies

Smiling jack o lantern pumpkin on a porch on Halloween
Halloween is one of my favourite evenings. I just love it - trick or treating especially. Kids are happy, parents get to run into each other on the sidewalk, and new and old neighbours alike get to meet people coming to the doors. GREAT community building. And who doesn't like candy? #yeg
