SCHOOL E-lert 02/02/04: COPE Trustees Work to Stop $3-Million Cut to Inner City Schools

WHAT'S HAPPENING?
-The COPE-led school board has joined community groups in launching a campaign to stop $3-million in cuts to Vancouver inner city schools, calling on children and family development minister Christy Clark to save programs for vulnerable children.
-An expected 36 per cent cut in funding will have a devastating impact on the hot lunch, child safety, family advancement workers and other vital programs provided to inner city kids.
-The hot lunch programs provide more than 10,000 meals daily to inner city school kids, and alternate and inner city programs provide extra academic support and counselling services to students and families, giving children a chance to succeed and stay in school. 
-Groups involved in the No Cuts To Kids Campaign include: Inner City Parents; Northeast Vancouver Community Organizations (NEVCO); Inner City Education Society; BC Association of Social Workers; Save Our Schools; Vancouver Elementary Principals and Vice-Principals Association; Vancouver SecondaryAdministrators Association; Vancouver School Board; Vancouver Elementary School Teachers' Association; Vancouver Secondary Teachers' Association; Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 15; International Union of Operating EngineersLocal 963.

A NOTE ON E-LERTS
E-lerts are COPE press releases and highlight information about upcoming
civic activities. Here's how COPE uses them:
(1) There are four types of E-lerts -- COMMUNITY, COUNCIL, PARKS and SCHOOL.
(2) There will likely be a maximum of three E-lerts a week for all
boards/council.
(3) You can sign up for selective E-lerts. To change your E-lert status,
please reply to this e-mail by putting the name of the board or council you
wish to be E-lerted to in the subject line (e.g., Jane Doe wants Council
and Parks so she replies with COUNCIL PARKS in the subject line). COMMUNITY
E-lerts are sent to everyone regardless of your E-lert status.
(4) If you do not wish to receive E-lerts, please reply to this e-mail by
putting "REMOVE" in the subject line.
