Petition-- CAPSC will have the petition available to sign at our meeting on April 20th.


FROM:       Sandy Smith, Chair of School Council and Parent Association

DATE:        April 18, 2011

Education funding has been a topic of discussion at the last two School Council meetings.  Members from the CJP School Council have organized a petition that the Alberta Parliamentarty Counsel Office has approved.  The petition states:
We, the undersigned residents of Alberta, petition the Legislative Assembly to urge the Government of Alberta to consider increasing the funding to the Ministry of Education so that sustainable and adequate funding is provided to address the needs of every student, every day, no exceptions.
The petition will be read in the legislature at the end of this month.  We had hoped to have more time to collect signatures but just found out that the legislature will be closing at the end of this month, not the scheduled date of June 2, 2011.

If you would like to support the petition, by signing it and/or collecting signatures, or have any questions about the petition and/or School Council, please contact me by telephone at (403) 230-5463 or via email at sandra.smith@mcmillan.ca 

Thank you for your time.

Sandy Smith
