Dear Mr. Rustad:
I am writing to ask you to urge Ms. Clark to order her negotiating team to bargain in good faith with the teachers. It is time for fair funding of public education, time for kids to have their needs met in our public schools and time to show respect for the work done by 40,000 teachers in our province. I am upset that the funding for independent schools has increased while we have seen significant decreases in per-student funding in the public school system. Please represent the large portion of your constituency that supports teachers and speak on our behalf.
