Advocating For Catholic Education
A big thank you to the School Council Chairs, from each of the schools within EICS, that attended the CEPAC (Catholic Education Parent Advisory Committee) meeting held at Central Learning Services on April 10, 2019. The meeting brought School Council Chairs together with School Board Trustees and Senior Administration to address a motion being brought forward at the Alberta School Councils Association AGM scheduled for April 28th, promoting one publicly funded system.
The motions calls upon the government to initiate an independent study of efficiencies to be found in the elimination of Catholic and Francophone boards and have one system. The resolution is essentially asking the school councils across Alberta to support a campaign to undermine Catholic Education.
School Council reps from across EICS gathered to learn and support each other in coordinated opposition to this motion. We are very thankful to all parents who attended, and all those dedicated parents who are active in their School Councils as well as in support of Catholic Education. The ASCA Annual General meeting is open and free to any parent who has a child within EICS.
Thank you to everyone who is advocating for Catholic Education.
God Bless,
Shawn Haggarty
