Dear British Columbia School Trustees Association (BCSTA):

Feedback Re: Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Education and BCSTA

Does the revised draft MOU reflect the appropriate working relationship between BCSTA and the Ministry of Education? If No, what changes would you suggest?

 We affirm and support the letter as written.

Does the draft MOU, as worded, reflect the appropriate balance between the role of BCSTA and that of individual Boards of Education?

 Yes.

Are there other considerations that should be included in the MOU? If Yes, what are they?

 Our hope is that the history in reaching this MOU will be honoured by future governments.

Are there any other suggestions, reflections or concerns that your board would like to raise at this time?

 Boards would like to have higher level of comfort that they will be consulted prior to publishing e.g. Rural Education Enhancement Fund (REEF).

We thank you for the opportunity to comment and appreciate being asked for input at this time.

Yours truly,

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 8 (KOOTENAY LAKE)

Dear Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services,

My name is Lenora Trenaman and I am Chair to the Board of Trustees for School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake). Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you in person while you were in Nelson last month.

Please understand the priority for School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) is that all money is spent in the best interest of students. To that end, a less restrictive system of financial allocation would enable Districts to best allocate to serve the needs of our own K-12 system. In asking for this flexibility, there are several areas I would like to mention. School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) has some weathered and full facilities. We would like to move more freely around renovations and construction of crowded schools, as some of our projects have been on the list for the last 10 years. Removal of barriers would ensure that our School District capital projects would proceed more efficiently.

Our District has unique rural complexities. We have 5,000 students in 23 schools operating in 6 municipalities and 1 regional district, K-12, K-10, K-5, K-6, K-7, 6-8, 7-12, 9-12 configurations, and 2 Distributed Learning Programs in 5 Sites. Our District encompasses a large geographic area, time change, long distances for curricular/extra-curricular travel, recruitment and retention challenges in remote schools, and program delivery challenges in remote schools.

Because of our rural setting recruitment and retention of staff is critical. We would like more stable and predictable funding to allow us to have 3-5 year sustainable plans and programming. Because of geographic challenges being able to ensure equity of transportation is critical in our District. Fully funding all new collective agreements and future considerations around mental health and early childhood education must be considered in order to ensure the high quality education we are known for in BC.

In closing, School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) would like to suggest that our Indigenous and Inclusion students are protected and that Boards of Education are provided greater flexibility to spend money to meet locally determined needs of students. Our District’s mission is to focus on excellence for all learners in a nurturing environment. We wish to continue to follow this mission without restrictive policies.

Yours truly,

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 8 (KOOTENAY LAKE)

EXCELLENCE IN ALL WE DO!

BOARD OF EDUCATION

Delivered via email: [email protected] October 12, 2018

Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services Room 224, Parliament Buildings Victoria, B.C., V8V 1X4

Dear Chair D’Eith and Committee Members,

Thank you for the opportunity to submit input for the 2019–20 provincial budget deliberations. We appreciate the committee’s careful discussion and the inclusion of public input. School District No. 46 (Sunshine Coast) includes coastal communities of Langdale and Gibsons northwest through Roberts Creek, Sechelt and Halfmoon Bay to Pender Harbour and Egmont. Like elsewhere in British Columbia, there is evidence in our district of decreased resources for public education. Through careful strategic planning, tremendous community support and a slight uptick in enrolment numbers for the past couple of years, our district has consistently balanced our budget and provided outstanding educational opportunities for our students. To continue to offer excellence in all we do, we respectfully submit the following for your consideration. Increased Investment in Education Studies show that investment in education results in savings to other ministries – every dollar invested in education sees an economic return of $11 in future savings. In this way, investing in our citizens and youth at a young age is a more efficient use of limited taxpayer resources, allowing for preventative health measures, and early intervention in social and environmental issues. A collaborative, cross ministry approach with the financial resources targeted at educating from a young age would be a great investment in the human capital of our province. Education Funding Model Review We appreciate that the funding model review was a campaign promise upon which your government followed through. However, the overall quantum of education funding has not increased beyond what is minimally required to fund overall enrolment growth and recent court decisions. We understand that this process is not expected to come with supplemental, ongoing funding to increase funding to some fortunate districts without reducing funding to others. The expected redistribution of funding between school boards resulting from the funding model change will benefit some school boards at the expense of others and negatively impact about half of the students in the province. To put it simply: Cutting up the pie differently doesn't put more food on the table.

P.O.November Box 220, 13, 494 2018 South Fletcher, Gibsons, BC V0NOpen 1V0 Board • Tel: Meeting 604-886-8811 • Fax: 604-886-4652 • www.sd46.bc.caPage 11 Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services October 12, 2018 ______Page 2

Our board is concerned that the true goal of this process is to legitimatize the “pie” as being the correct size, when we are all fully aware that it is not. If the model is changed without increasing the overall amount of funding allocated, children in classrooms suffer the consequences. Prioritizing one area of the funding model over another is tantamount to prioritizing one child over another. Our students deserve to be given the financial investment in public education they deserve. The entire process created uncertainties for school boards across the province, pitting us against each other as it became evident there would be “winners” and “losers” in the redistribution of the same “pie”. Funding Stability In recent years the Ministry of Education has introduced a number of sudden and surprising policy changes for funding re capital projects, small rural schools and transportation. Announcements of several positive changes were made mid-year in 2016/17 well after we have done extensive community consultation and made difficult decisions re the allocation of limited resources. This has been disrespectful of our communities and of the tremendous efforts of our staff to meet Ministry imposed deadlines for budget and calendar. We need increased funding for operational costs and we need equity in how those funds can be accessed across the province. The Hydro increases, Next Generation Network, MSP premium increases, WorkSafe BC premiums, have been downloaded to the local level with a big impact on our budget. These pressures and the unpredictability of Ministry decisions impede community confidence in public education and strong relationships within our district with community partners. Once again, we request that the Ministry of Education increase funding for public education in British Columbia, establish that funding once per year and avoid policy changes within the school year. Capital Funding We have aging facilities, some of which are very overcrowded. There is continues to be uncertainty regarding funding for capital projects. We need clarity regarding capital funding and clear criteria to be able to access funds provided by the Ministry of Education. The past few years have seen several policy changes and created great uncertainty. A predictable multi-year funding model would help us to plan and implement facility upgrades in a much more efficient and inclusive manner. New Curriculum implementation Personalized learning, trades and technology and English language support are areas that need stable funding in addition to the training of teachers in the new curriculum. We recognize that these requests have been made in the past and the need is still rising every year. In particular we need to focus on the needs for those subject specialists teaching secondary Grades 10 - 12 to have additional support as the new curriculum is implemented. Teachers will be implementing a new curriculum for the next three to five years so funding for new curriculum materials would help immensely to move through this major change. Greater and consistent funding for professional learning is essential and it must include more than teaching staff. Education assistants are important players in the support of students. Additional professional development funds to train Education Assistants in the new curriculum would ease the transition. Investment in Inclusive Education School districts in BC receive targeted funding for students with special needs in order for districts to provide additional supports to those students. This funding is not nearly enough to provide sufficient resources for these students, so as a result school districts spend, on average,

P.O.November Box 220, 13, 494 2018 South Fletcher, Gibsons, BC V0NOpen 1V0 Board • Tel: Meeting 604-886-8811 • Fax: 604-886-4652 • www.sd46.bc.caPage 12 Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services October 12, 2018 ______Page 3

double the amount they receive to support these students. Districts do this by using general funding, provided for basic programming, to hire additional special education teaching and support staff. Some districts, such as School District No. 46, have a significantly higher proportion of their students requiring additional supports, which can either place pressure on general operating budgets, or lead to inequitable service levels. The resulting potential for failure in properly serving students with special needs may lead to human rights violations and broader societal costs in the long term. The implementation of the old contract language has led to allocation of staffing in ways that further limit our ability to support students. Our operating funds are stretched thin to reduce class seizes and the denial in our district of over $700,000 in necessary Classroom Enhancement Funding to support non-enrolling teachers could mean future layoffs across all program areas.

* SD46 spending is based on 2017/18 budget figures.

Indigenous Education A commitment to implementing the actions of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission regarding indigenous people in is a worthy step for every stakeholder in public education. We are proud of our district’s program for Indigenous Education. We still need

additional funds to establish a local curriculum and enhance opportunities for students to learn and celebrate the shíshálh language. We recommend increased funding to allow school districts to move ahead in helping communities learn and change by implementing the education proposed in the TRC recommendations. To continue our delivery of excellent education our province needs improved government investment. Public education for the children and families of the province is best way to assure a prosperous, healthy future. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Minister Fleming and Deputy Minister MacDonald:

On behalf of the 43,000 members of the BC Teachers’ Federation, I am writing to reiterate the BCTF’s call for the graduation requirements to include at least one First Peoples course as a requirement for graduation of any student going through BC’s education system.

This has been a recommendation consistently made by the BCTF, FNESC, the BCSTA, and others since the graduation requirements review process started about seven years ago. It was also one of the key priorities we raised with you in July 2017 at our first meeting after the new government was sworn in, and has continued to be a subject of discussion with yourselves and staff at the Ministry of Education since then.

For the past two decades, the teachers of BC have been actively working to address the injustices in education facing Aboriginal students and their families. As a union, we have been deeply involved in educating our members about the history and legacy of the residential schools, as well as actively taking on racism faced by Aboriginal students in the public education system—including the racism of low expectations. We are committed to continuing our work on education for reconciliation. There is still much to do.

Ensuring that all students take at least one First Peoples course would be a bold step toward meaningful reconciliation, and it is an achievable, doable change that would be celebrated across the education sector. BC already has highly regarded, rigorous secondary First Peoples courses available and we would be pleased to be involved in the development of more such courses in other subject areas. This would not be in lieu of the Aboriginal content that has been woven into subject areas across the entire K–12 curriculum (which we also championed and continue to support). As we have discussed previously, making a First Peoples course a requirement builds on that work and is consistent with requirements in teacher education programs in BC.

November 13, 2018 Open Board Meeting Page 19 From: Sheri Morrison Sent: October 24, 2018 6:12 AM To: Christine Perkins Cc: Tamara Malloff Subject: Multi-purpose facility

Hi Christine,

On behalf of the Physical Education Department at L.V. Rogers School, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the support of the school board towards the new multi-purpose facility. The facility has allowed our students the opportunity to learn the skills required to play two lifetime sports in a beautiful setting.

We have many students that shoot basketballs everyday and the outdoor court provided another space for this, as well as an area for the students that enjoy skateboarding.

Several of my PE students have expressed an interest in the Junior Development Program and joining a tennis team at LVR.

The courts have been heavily used this fall by our classes and members of the community. It was rewarding to watch our students playing tennis, and seniors from the community playing pickle ball side by side. A few of the senior players even helped our students with skills one day.

Thank you for your support towards this wonderful facility that will serve our community and our school for many years to come.

Sincerely, Sheri Morrison Physical Education Curricular Lead

Date: October 19, 2018 Title: RE: Funding Model Review Update

I am writing to provide an update on the Funding Model Review process. Minister Fleming has received the report from the Independent Review Panel (the Panel) and has been studying each recommendation carefully with technical support from staff in the Ministry of Education.

On behalf of the Minister, I would like to thank you, your Boards, and your staff for the valuable input that you have provided to the Funding Model Review. This includes:  Co-developing the K-12 Funding Model Review guiding principles;  In-person meetings and/or written submissions from all 60 Boards of Education in the spring of 2018;  One-on-one meetings with main partner organizations, including BC School Trustees Association (BCSTA), BC School Superintendents Association (BCSSA), BC Association of School Business Officials (BCASBO), BC Principals and Vice Principals Association (BCPVPA); and  Written submissions from a range of partner organizations, including BCSTA, BCSSA, BCASBO, BC Council of Administrators of Special Education (BCCASE), BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC), BC Distributed Learning Administrators’ Association (BCDLA), Parent Advocacy Network for Public Education, Rural Education Advisory Committee (REAC), BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), Canadian Union of Public Employees BC (CUPE BC), and others.

In total, the Panel heard from over 350 partner groups and stakeholders, including more than 100 written submissions. Input from Boards of Education and senior school district staff was summarized into an interim paper outlining what they heard from the sector, which was distributed across the sector to engage and solicit further input and feedback.

To ensure continued engagement into the implementation phase of the Funding Model Review, the Minister has appointed an Implementation Advisory Committee (IAC) to provide strategic advice and guidance to the Ministry on implementing the Panel’s recommendations and to connect with the sector to ensure success with any change management challenges. The IAC members are respected and trusted leaders with extensive experience and knowledge of the education system:

 Mike McKay, former Superintendent, School District No. 36 (Surrey), previous Official Trustee in School District No. 79 (), and current Official Trustee in School District No. 83 (North--Shuswap).  Piet Langstraat, former Superintendent of School District No. 61 () and Red Deer Public School District, Alberta. Member of the Independent Review Panel for the K‒12 Public Education Funding Model Review.  Joan Axford, former Executive Director of BC Association of School Business Officials, former Secretary Treasurer in School District No. 63 (Saanich), and former Chair of the BC Teachers’ Pension Board of Trustees.  Deborah Jeffrey, Executive Director of the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC).

Over the next six months, the IAC will help determine how best to ensure a smooth transition to the new funding model in 2019.

The Minister and I will continue to keep you informed on the activities of the IAC as well as the Funding Model Review process with regular updates similar to this one, as we move things forward. More information will be provided to you shortly regarding upcoming engagement opportunities this fall, as we seek further input from you and your staff in support of this process.

“All of our incentives lead to backing off, but our values don’t” many of us thinking “We must move beyond a single point metric” deeply, and --Dr. David Burns with many questions. Several LVR students were in attendance for the afternoon session and spoke to their learning.

Cannabis: Talk to Your Teens

Many parents are wondering about how to talk to their teen in light of the recent legalization of marijuana. Although cannabis use and selling/distribution is illegal for minors, parents/guardians may find this helpful. It is available here. Cannabis Legislation: The BC government has enacted the Cannabis Control and Licensing Act (CCLA) as well as the Cannabis Distribution Act, which regulate how cannabis may be sold, distributed, and consumed in British Columbia once it is legalized. The legislation includes significant restrictions aimed at preventing access to cannabis by minors under the age of 19: Cannabis cannot be consumed in or on school property or within a prescribed distance. Cannabis cannot be smoked or vaped in a vehicle or anywhere where tobacco smoking and vaping are prohibited, including a workplace, playground or other park, sports field, skatepark, or other places where children commonly gather, near entry/exits, or at a bus stop. Cannabis cannot be sold, supplied, or allowed to be consumed by minors, in addition to a variety of other measures to prohibit and prevent access of cannabis to minors. November 13, 2018 Open Board Meeting Page 71 Supporting Positive Attendance Chronic absence (missing 10 percent or more of school days) can be an early warning sign of academic trouble. When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating. If your child is struggling to attend school, please contact your school counsellor or administration.

Here is what you can do as a parent/guardian:

Make school attendance a priority • Talk about the importance of showing up to school everyday, make that the expectation. • Help your child maintain daily routines, such as finishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep. • If possible, avoid appointments during the school day. • Don’t let your child stay home unless truly sick. Complaints of headaches or stomachaches may be signs of anxiety.

Resources: Please see Attendance Support for Families email attachment for more information How to Access Your Child’s Teacher If your child is having a difficult time with a class, or if you have a question or concern, your first point of contact is your child’s course teacher after you have a conversation with your child.

Any concerns you may have as a parent should be directed through a brief email request for a meeting or telephone conversation. Please expect at least a 24 hour turnaround in communication as teachers are busy with classroom instruction, and will return your call or email as soon as possible. Please refrain from direct visits to classes while they are in session as it may be disruptive—always check in at the Office first.

If any challenges cannot be resolved, then a referral to a counsellor or LV Rogers Aboriginal Education Program to administration may be warranted. We welcome and encourage Students on Orange Shirt Day – healthy and proactive communication with our parent/guardians. supporting Reconciliation.

Honourable Rob Fleming Minister of Education PO Box 9045 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC V8W 9E2

Dear Minister Fleming,

Re: Funding Formula Review

On behalf of the Board of Education of School District 8 Kootenay Lake, we write to request that Boards of Education, parents, students and education partners be given an opportunity to consider the impact of the proposed new funding model and provide further feedback before the model goes into effect.

We understand the draft of the new Funding Formula has now been prepared, and we ask that it be released in order to understand how this will impact our next budget. In such a significant undertaking we believe that further consultation will provide an opportunity to ensure that the new Funding Formula would, in fact, support strengthened outcomes for students across the Province.

In consultation with our Education Partners and the public we will work to provide relevant feedback, before implementation, to your Ministry and in support of smooth implementation for next Spring's budget process. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours truly,

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 8 (KOOTENAY LAKE)
