The Wolf Creek Teachers
Up the Creek!
October Issue
Responding to anticipated cuts of $340 million or more to the 2010 education budget, the provincial associations representing Alberta parents, teachers and school boards officially launched a six-week media campaign aimed at protecting funding for public education.
The Stop the Cuts campaign uses various advertising media to invite Albertans to visit a website where they can efficiently contact MLAs, the minister of education and the premier to voice their support for investments in education.
The Alberta School Councils' Association (ASCA), Alberta Teachers' Association (ATA) and the Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA) want to raise awareness among Albertans of the potential education funding cuts and their impact on students and schools.
This campaign will continue through to November 22, covering the period when MLAs are returning to the legislature and budget decisions are being made within government. Albertans need to ensure their voices are heard by visiting www.stopthecuts.ca and sending a message to their MLAs."
