Building Value for Rocky View Schools

As advocates of public education, Rocky View Schools’ (RVS) Board of Trustees is entrusted with the role of ensuring that appropriate supports, whether they be teaching and learning resources, staffing, or facilities, are in place to meet the individual needs of students. This role demands that Trustees identify, address, and seek resolution to educational issues, as well as work with government and their partners to continually improve Alberta’s K-12 system.

While appreciative of having recently received three new facilities to address the jurisdiction’s student population explosion, as well as having successfully resolved the government’s inequitable funding levels for RVS’ severe needs students, the Board of Trustees knows that much work remains. In February 2012, Trustees sat down to identify the jurisdiction’s top priority positions for the government to consider. They are:

Primary:          Secure Predictable and Sustainable Capital Funding
        
Secondary:     Review of Alberta Education’s Funding Framework
                       Build Awareness and Value for Public Education
                       Institute 21st C Assessment Practices
                       Secure Regional Child and Family Supports
                       Give Parents the Choice of Full Day Kindergarten
                       Establish Fixed Boundaries for All Jurisdictions

As elected officials, Trustees know that it is the government’s job to listen to the needs of Rocky View Schools and its residents. The Board invites you to become familiar with its Top Priority Positions and asks you to show your value for its public education system by amplifying these needs to provincial politicians through chance meetings, writing letters, or visiting MLA offices to speak to the needs of RVS students.
