We all should be demanding this. Senior Min of Ed bureaucrats conspiring with top cops to convince a cabinet minister to fire a democratically elected board is absolutely unacceptable. timescolonist.com/local-news…

Accountability needed. "No one raises the question of why the ministry and one interest group — the police — set out to undermine and destroy a school board elected by the citizens of Greater Victoria. "The messages also make Beare look ridiculous." thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026/05/2…

Thank you to the @gvta for posting the documents that were finally produced by @lisabeare's ministry regarding the school board firing scandal. Read and rage. drive.google.com/file/d/1ZvG…

I've suspected something like this was going on between senior BC education ministry staff and police officials. Heads should roll. This really stinks. These trustees should be compensated, along with their immediate reinstatement. @Dave_Eby cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

Good to see this proposed change in legislation. Good for kids, good for parents, and good for workers. @PublicEdBC @10aDayPlan @Dave_Eby #bced #bcpoli
Most parents don’t work 9-3 and may end up scrambling to pick up their kids after school. We’ve introduced legislation that, if passed, would allow school districts to offer seamless child care before and after school, on school grounds.

BCSTA President, Tracy Loffler, joined the Education Matters podcast and shared her perspective on what it means to govern one of the most complex systems in our communities—public education. Some highlights from the conversation: ✨ The role of trustees in ensuring safe and inclusive classrooms for students 🏫Why understanding the full scale of the education system (teachers, staff, bus drivers, IT, and beyond) is essential for parents and communities 🤝 How BCSTA works with school boards across the province to support governance, advocacy, and professional learning 📜The policy challenges on the horizon, including AI, student well-being, and equity of access Tracy’s message was clear: when we keep students as our North Star, we can navigate even the most complex challenges with hope, care, and belief in what’s possible. 🔊Listen here: linktr.ee/jasonbuccheri #Bced #Bcpoli

We brought the needs of @bcedplan students to the BC leg yesterday! We made it clear that more money does not mean enough money. Students are suffering from chronic underfunding in #bced. We'll keep pushing. This was just the opening act @lisabeare & @Dave_Eby. #bcpoli
