Power Of Positive Change Posted by Marjorie Graham
(February 15, 2010)

|  I am writing to inform you of the second annual Premier’s Power of Positive Change Awards. This award program was an overwhelming success last year, with close to one hundred applications, showcasing the incredible positive work by students across the province of Nova Scotia. The premier’s Power of Positive Change Award is an exciting opportunity to highlight the wonderful work that our students in Nova Scotia, from grades primary to 12, are doing in their schools and communities to promote positive change and making a difference in our province. This work is inspirational and often contagious. Up to ten students in Nova Scotia will be awarded a $2000 bursary to be used for post secondary educational opportunities, following graduation from senior high school. Shortly, schools will be receiving an information package from the Department of Education outlining the details of this award, the criteria for eligibility and the promotional materials. I am asking that you inform your staff, students and community of this opportunity by displaying the link, www.powerofpositivechange.ca on your school board website. I wish to thank you for your continued work and support of all students. |

Save Grade 2 Posted by Norma Baxter
(January 29, 2010)
|
| NEWS RELEASE January 29, 2010 Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board Faces Budget Uncertainties for the 2010-2011 School year Sydney, NS: - Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board is again projecting significant cuts to their educational budget. Nova Scotia’s education partners – school boards, teachers, administrators and parents are seeking a 3.6 per cent increase for public education in the Province’s 2010/11 budget. A lobby campaign entitled “Save Grade 2” has been launched by the partners to emphasize the impossible choices the system is facing. Ron Marks, president of the Nova Scotia School Boards Association, stated, “The primary goal of the campaign is to reinforce the Government’s belief that continued investment in public education will chart the course for the future economic prosperity of the province.” Lorne Green, Board Chair, stated, The Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board is committed to making the best choices when it comes to our student’s future, but sometimes these choices are difficult to make.” He added that the areas of concern for CBVRSB are: · CBVRSB has the highest student decline in all the Boards in Nova Scotia (600 students each year over the last 10 years); · Increased class sizes; · Increase in the number of multi-age grades; · Elimination of Math and Literacy mentors; · Reduction of Professional Development opportunities; · Concerns about building maintenance funding; · Reduction of book budget by $500,000; · Reduction of 42 teachers; · 12% reduction in budget items overall; · Use of a very small budget surplus to balance 2009/10 budget; · Instability of energy, heath and transportation costs. Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board is very active in this lobbying campaign, ie. meeting with editorial boards, conference calls with other School Boards in the Province, etc., and they will be insisting that there is adequate resource capacity to meet current, as well as projected, needs into 2011. Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board has a responsibility to meet student’s outcomes as mandated by the Department of Education. - 30 - Contact: Norma Baxter, Communications Officer – 562-6487 n-baxter@staff.ednet.ns.ca |
