Most school districts will be returning from Spring Break on Monday and BCPSEA has received
some inquiries about what to expect over the next few weeks. After any strike action a period of
adjustment is necessary for the workplace to return to normal and we will be reporting to districts
as matters arise.

To mark the 10th anniversary of Bills 27 and 28, the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) is organizing a protest for Friday, January 27, 2012, which they are calling a “Dark Day for Public Education in BC”. The BCTF is asking teachers to mark the occasion by wearing black in their classrooms, and have supplied local teachers’ associations with buttons, t-shirts, bumper stickers, pamphlets, and other promotional items.
With respect to the protest planned for Friday, January 27, 2012, BCPSEA’s position is that teachers should not wear in the classroom buttons or t-shirts with political messages that may engage students in the teacher’s political views on Bills 27 and 28. If teachers wear attire with political messages in the presence of students, they should be reminded that this is not permitted under the arbitral jurisprudence and should be asked to remove it from the classroom.

It is our understanding that some local teachers’ associations are sending home union materials to parents through students on the issue of the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA).
The same legal principles and procedures will apply to FSA materials as with any other union materials going home to parents on an educational issue.

On August 23, 2011 BCPSEA reached a signed agreement with the BCTF on a resolution process to resolve the approximate 10,000 classes that are presently under grievances for the 2006–2010 school years.
The process has now been successfully completed for the 1,668 classes under grievance covering 18 school districts for the 2006-07 and 2007-08 school years. All class size grievances for the 2006-07 and 2007-08 school years have now been resolved. BCPSEA is very pleased how this process worked and would like to thank each district and local association involved.
