The first is about the anti-bullying legislation being considered. Here is an Edmonton Journal link to the teacher's response. On the other hand, here is a different aspect about the anti-bullying issue from the CBC called, Bullying is a public health issue.
And finally, here is an article from the Alberta Government website called, "Albertans urged to take a stand against bullying".

The next is about the school board and the 2009-2010 budget. Here is a quote from the article called, "Edmonton school boards approve ‘restrained’ budgets."

"Edmonton Public Schools officials described this year’s budget as “restrained” and said the goal was to preserve its core services to students."

On a slightly different note, the Premier of Alberta, Ed Stelmach, has setup a Twitter account to see your feedback on a variety of issues. Here is a quote from the article linked to below, "This is an opportunity for all Albertans to ask me what's on their minds...".

The CBC Twitter article is here.

The Premier's YouTube main page is here, and his Twitter account is here. There are more links on his website here.

Good teaching...Good learning...
