Gangs with drugs

I am disappointed in the SD61 decision to keep the SPLO program out of schools. Please see my full statement here: vicpd.ca/2024/04/23/chi…

Yes, Ryan Painter, the Victoria Teachers controls the Greater Victoria School District Board of Education. We would quote your thread, but you blocked us when our candidates ran against this slate of extremists who you seemingly supported in your previous role as #sd61 Board Chair. #yyj #yyj poli #bced #bclab

Last week, the Board of Education for School District 61 (SD61) issued a statement in response to requests for the reinstatement of the School Police Liaison (SPLO) program. Chief Del Manak has issued a response, which can be viewed here: vicpd.ca/2024/04/23/chi…

We are still buzzing from our Greater Victoria School District Career Fair last week!

✅95 exhibitors
✅1900+ students
✅Excellent conversations
✅Powerful networking & connections

Thanks to our community partners for your time & efforts making positive connections with our students!

Secondary students in SD61 visited Vic High today to attend the student-led Wellness Resource Fair. Over 30 organizations attended, offering students access to community resources ranging from physical, emotional, nutritional, and mental health.

It would appear that the SD61 board is full of activists that colonize certain communities for use in a 'cause' completely unrelated to education.

Comment: Don't blame the Indigenous community for this bad decision timescolonist.com/opinion/commen… via Times Colonist @SD61 no doubt you’ve read this?

Wait - I thought the talking point was that sd61 had banned VicPD from schools when they cut the SLO funding... #yyj #yyj poli

Patti Bacchus It is systemic. SD62 trustee elections have turned into a political battle ground for the Greens vs the NDP. Sd61 trying to push anti-police nonsense. Getting rid of letter grades. Trying to cancel standardized testing.

Don't miss hour 1 for Adam Stirling's analysis on the removal of the School Police Liaison Officer program, and the conversations in the community surrounding this #yyj #SD62 #SD61 #SPLO omny.fm/shows/cfax-107…

Del Manak So disheartening to know the SD61 has made such a reckless decision
The SPLO is an essential program for keeping today's Schools & Students safe....Sadly it's the Students who will lose out

SD61 will not reinstate SPLO program.

Aaron Gunn Adam Zivo Aaron is right as we witnessed with SD61 with the Police program as schools they have a bad habit of doubling down like the Justine & his clown friends

Adam Stirling Did they ask permission from @SD61? (sarcasm) Thanks to SD61 for being so ideological, they will be blind to ongoing harm to youth.

Del Manak Sir, as an sd61 parent I feel you are exaggerating the threats in our schools. My child is probably the toughest kid in his grade and he is unable to get me a deal on a watermelon vape that these alleged gangs are having our children pedal far and wide.

Del Manak Times Colonist When you combine the thoughts from this article to the proposition from Chief Manak to bring stakeholders together to discuss a model that works for everyone, it 'should' be difficult for SD61 to stand firm on their decision. Time will tell and it will be telling.
