Increase the Budget for Edmonton Public Schools


Increase the Budget for Edmonton Public Schools
The Issue
600 full-time jobs have been lost and 400 of those were educational assistants. More cuts are likely to follow.
6% $ cut per student next year.
The UCP's funding cut for Edmonton Public School Board has been deeper than ANY other school board.
School board Trustee Michael Janz: "...Edmonton students need to be funded equally as St. Albert, Sherwood Park, or Edmonton Catholic".
This article explains why we need more funding really well. https://edmontonjournal.com/news/local-news/epsb-meeting
Our education system should not have to suffer from disproportionate funding at the hands of the UCP.
In the past six months, Albertans have paid around $60 000 in tax dollars for UCP's David Knight-Legg to travel to luxury hotels. They've been using federal covid-19 emergency tax funds to subsidize their own wages.
The UCP is irresponsible with its use of funds and is not looking out for us. Please sign and share this petition.
