How to Save Vancouver Band and Strings

This year might be the last for Band and Strings. Christy Clark's BC Liberal Government has, for the second year, disregarded the advice of the Select Standing Committee and chosen to decrease rather than increase Public School funding, and at the same time, increase Private School funding. Although the numbers increase for Public Schools, the amount does not account for either inflation or downloaded costs to School Boards that were once paid for by the Provincial Government.

If you want to do something about this, you must get vocal.

1. Write to your MLA using this handy email tool from Families Against Cuts to Education (FACE), my organization. Here is the background: https://facebc.wordpress.com/2016/02/29/209/
2.  Attend protests organized by parent groups Families Against Cuts to Education and the Parent Advocacy Network
3.  Join the Facebook Groups of Families Against Cuts to Education and the Parent Advocacy Network
4. Sign and share the Petition to Save VSB Band and Strings

 Write to Premier Christy Clark. Most importantly, let her know clearly, in the next election that we will not tolerate the destruction of Public Education and the promotion of Private Education.
