Alberta Albatross Academically

Rory J. Koopmans, B. Admin.
Ward A, Edmonton Public School Trustee Candidate
Highlands Public Library Terminal #XI
Edmonton, Alberta

August Xth, MMX

Hon. David G. Hancock, QC, MLA
Minister of Education,
Progressive Conservative, Edmonton-Whitemud

Dear David:

I am going II have II agree strongly with the administrative official who stated that having II lay off 65,000 plus teachers across the Province & then hire them all back effective August XXVIIth, MMX was a boneheaded move. If the Province knew that they were going II be able II squeeze a few million more out of Finance, then why in the hell leave Trustees with the shaft & force the laying off of teachers. Especially bad IV good Trustees who are facing an election writ year Provincewide.

David, what you should have done is stick with long term contracts instead of trying to be chinty & save a few bucks. Long term contracts are always cheaper in the end then short term, poorly planned term appointments that force teachers and other administrative staff II live hand II mouth. Kids need stability David & they are not getting it with this clearly educational abuse of human resource(s) authority.

Disgusted,

Rory
