2. PROTEST – HUGE SUCCESS – GREAT TURNOUT
Thank you to all the parents and children who attended and to those who made beautiful posters. We had a great turnout of parents coming to join us at the protest demanding answers from the School Board. We had about an equal number of parents who were for grass as parents who are for turf. We provided an update of the actions and progress; everyone had an opportunity to ask questions and share personal stories. There a fantastic exchange of dialogue.
3. NEXT STEPS – EMAIL THE TRUSTEE – Nathalie Dufour-Séguin ndufour@cscmonavenir.ca
It is CRITICAL that THIS WEEKEND WE ALL EMAIL THE TRUSTEE - Nathalie Dufour-Seguin ndufour@cscmonavenir.ca asking her for transparency, accountability and that you are angry with how the school board handled this project. WE WANT HER TO COME BACK FROM A WEEKEND TO A FLOODED EMAILBOX!!!
4. STAKEHOLDERS
We have been contacting other stakeholders in the government including in the Ministry of Education by reporting the situation and asking them to get answers for us.
