The Government of NB has officially begun taking action to dissolve the Anglo East District Education Council (the DEC is the group who oversees the school district with a mission of providing "quality education and support to all students within the Anglophone East School District.")
How we got here: the Anglo East DEC disagrees with the Provincial Gov's 'Policy 713'... that's the policy centered around gender identity and chosen names or pronouns.
Basically, the education council doesn't want to adhere to the policy because they feel it violates student rights/ the Province wants the policy enforced in schools to protect parent rights (*paraphrase)
Dissolving the DEC is a bit of a process and the Province has put that process in motion... meanwhile (quote from the article) "the DEC is prepared to defend its integrity through all available channels,"

Dear postal worker,
At our summer camp we made Postcards and one person sent one to their grandma without a Stamp. If you find it, can you Please return it to the MacPhee Center (across the Street) or use the Stamp on the back of this page? We would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!
