Re: Classroom Resources Fund

 

Overview

VCPAC is currently advocating for a process and structure entitled the “Classroom Resources Fund.” It is based on a vision that every child should have his or her educational needs met. This letter will provide you with the history of its development to date, details of how it fits into the current funding model and an opportunity to offer suggestions for its possible implementation.

VCPAC sent a letter to the Ministry of Education and the BC Teachers Federation today in regard to the labour dispute and educational issues.  To view the document, click here.
