Comments on: Why are Parents Excluded from Schools? http://education-advisory.org/Involved/2007/09/30/why-are-parents-excluded-from-schools/ dedicated to parents wanting to be involved and effective in the education of their children Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:11:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Tunya Audain http://education-advisory.org/Involved/2007/09/30/why-are-parents-excluded-from-schools/#comment-7547 Thu, 07 Feb 2008 05:24:35 +0000 http://education-advisory.org/Involved/2007/09/30/why-are-parents-excluded-from-schools/#comment-7547 I closed this post with the Question: Have things changed much in 2007, even with mandated Parent Advisory Councils in BC public schools? Here is a recent comment (Jan 29/08) from Heather Maahs on her site: The Schools We Need http://www.theschoolsweneed.com/ BCCPAC recently had it's conference and were tackling some oh so lofty items such as rewriting how to make and submit a new resolution. Whoa, that's heavy stuff. On their web site, they also announced the winner the schools to get playground grants. Yep, that's right. 20 grand goes to 66 schools that the MINISTRY chose they proudly announce. If you are still with me and haven't collapsed from the sheer intensity of these achievements, there's one more thing. Ready? They are circulating a document that discusses the Frequently asked questions about Healthy foods legislation by the MINISTRY. I'm like, blown away by what they're doing. This is stuff that legends are made of. Them and the MINISTRY that is. Please check this link which is a rather succinct demonstration of what BCCPAC are up to with the government. You'd better be sitting down though. Don't say I didn't warn you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liKhLNY5GYI&feature=related I closed this post with the Question:

BCCPAC recently had it’s conference and were tackling some oh so lofty items such as rewriting how to make and submit a new resolution. Whoa, that’s heavy stuff.

On their web site, they also announced the winner the schools to get playground grants. Yep, that’s right. 20 grand goes to 66 schools that the MINISTRY chose they proudly announce.

If you are still with me and haven’t collapsed from the sheer intensity of these achievements, there’s one more thing.

Ready?
