We all should be demanding this. Senior Min of Ed bureaucrats conspiring with top cops to convince a cabinet minister to fire a democratically elected board is absolutely unacceptable. timescolonist.com/local-news…

Teachers' union demands probe of Education Ministry in trustee case

The Greater Victoria Teachers’ Association says the trustees’ firing came about through “backroom dealings” and pressure from senior VicPD officials.

Good synopsis of what happened in @sd61schools leading up to, and after, @lisabeare decided to fire the elected board. This is as bad as I've been saying all long. Why is no one taking accountability @Dave_Eby? #bcpoli #bced cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

What text messages reveal about the collapse of the province's case against Victoria's school...

All Greater Victoria School Board trustees were reinstated last week after the province's late disclosure of court-ordered documents, which included text messages involving a senior ministry official.

Lessons are being learned... just not the right ones. Our latest blog post looks at the firing and reinstatement of the Greater Victoria School Board from the perspective of the disturbing lessons being learned. #bced #bcpoli #PublicEdPublicGood instituteforpubliceducation.…

Accountability needed. "No one raises the question of why the ministry and one interest group — the police — set out to undermine and destroy a school board elected by the citizens of Greater Victoria. "The messages also make Beare look ridiculous." thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026/05/2…

The provincial government colluded with police on a costly, undemocratic campaign.

Thank you to Paul Willcocks and @TheTyee for this thorough article sharing the behind the details on the firing and eventual reinstatement of the GVSB. To date, the response from government has been woefully inadequate. #bcpoli #bced #PublicEdPublicGood thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026/05/2…

I've suspected something like this was going on between senior BC education ministry staff and police officials. Heads should roll. This really stinks. These trustees should be compensated, along with their immediate reinstatement. @Dave_Eby cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

We're pleased that the GVSB is being reinstated. But we're also disappointed to learn more about what was going on behind the scenes and the Ministry's failure to release all relevant documents, including concerning texts. #bced #bcpoli #PublicEdPublicGood instituteforpubliceducation.…

The Ministry conceded their case today in what the lawyer for the fired school board called a total capitulation.

If a child needs to "earn their way into inclusion", it's not inclusion. The real problem is the dire lack of supports, the chronic underfunding, and the cruel expectation that children with disabilities and diverse needs should prove they belong. #bced #bcpoli #inclusion

Smith today... "If a child needs to be removed from a school environment... because they need to learn to self regulate, let's do that too. You can earn your way into inclusion, but you can earn your way out of it too..." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abed

Thanks very much to @a_longhurst and the @ccpa for this powerful analysis. We completely agree- the funding of private schools, including elite private schools, with public tax dollars is completely indefensible. #bced #bcpoli #cdned #PublicEdPublicGood policyalternatives.ca/news-r…

Public funding for B.C.'s private schools is indefensible | CCPA

Public school funding, as a share of GDP, is declining. Why is the provincial government still funding private schools?

A policy commitment to inclusion becomes an empty promise when the necessary conditions, supports and funding are not there. Please read the newly released National Exclusion Tracker report. @BCEdAccess #bced #bcpoli #cdned #PublicEdPublicGood @FSIBC exclusiontracker.com/net-int…
