    Alison Redford met with the Alberta Teacher's Association to commit to restoring education funding cuts from the 2011/2012 budget within 10 days of becoming Premier. She also committed to more stable and predictable three-year funding cycles for school boards and rolling back any parent fee increases resulting from the restored funding. Redford regretted that the timing of the leadership contest meant unacceptable disruption had already occurred from the funding cuts that needed to be reversed if she became Premier.

    Kleiss, Karen (Edm Journal)

    From: Sent: Subject: jtraptow234@gmail.com on behalf of Josh Traptow [traptow@alisonredford.ca] Thursday, September 22, 2011 11:02 AM Redford Presents Education Commitment to ATA

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 22, 2011

    Redford Presents Education Commitment to ATA


    EDMONTON, ALBERTA Alison Redford is meeting today with the Provincial Executive Council of the Alberta Teachers Association to present her commitment to education in the province of Alberta.

    I will commit to restoring the education cuts made in the 2011/2012 budget within 10 days of being sworn in as Premier, says Redford in her letter to the ATA. This funding should not have been removed from the budgets of Alberta School Boards. I only regret that the timing of the leadership contest means that unacceptable disruption has already occurred that must be reversed. If elected Premier, I will not allow that to happen again.

    The restoration of this funding will allow School Boards to hire back teachers and support staff laid off this summer. This, in turn, will reduce class size to a more manageable level. In consideration of the funding restoration, I will request that School Boards also roll back fee increases passed onto parents this fall.

    Further, I commit to stable and predictable funding on three-year cycles in the future. School boards need to be able to plan, not annually react to unpredictable budgets. In order to keep talented teachers, we must be able to offer them longer-term stability, not a continual cycle of layoffs and rehiring. Students and parents must know what to expect from year to year.

    Copies of the letter will be available to media after the ATA meeting at approximately 2:15 pm. Alison will address questions at that time. ATA - 11010 142 Street NW.
