The 91原创 Board of Education may send a letter to both the government and the B.C. Teachers Federation, asking them to reach a settlement in the ongoing teachers鈥� dispute as soon as possible, but to respect the bargaining process.
Trustee Megan Dykeman moved that the board send a letter to the two parties. She thinks the board 鈥渉as been very silent on this and that鈥檚 why this letter has been drafted.鈥�
She wants it to say that the board supports the bargaining process, not forced legislation.
Trustee Rod Ross called the letter a bit 鈥渁pple pie,鈥� but said he would support it.
The board passed Dykeman鈥檚 motion.
The only other trustee who spoke was Alison McVeigh, who said she would want all the trustees to see a final draft of the letter to reach an approved consensus on what is being sent out.
