This is abusive @jeremycockrill. Ask those hamstringed by a lack of funding to help you "make a case" against teachers.Those same trustees who have had to make serious cuts year after year. Arguably, cuts that have caused irreversable damage to S's learning?! @SaskTeachersFed
Education minister sends letter asking school board trustees for support: Jeremy Cockrill wrote a letter asking school board trustees "to help make the case" for the government's position in negotiations with teachers.

It's so incredibly frustrating @PremierScottMoe and @jeremycockrill refused to invite a neutral voice to class size and complexity. It was a very fair offer from @SaskTeachersFed NO ONE wants what lies ahead. All preventable. All blame lies with @SKGov
We don’t want to be doing this. Government can end this with binding arbitration for class size/complexity. Lots of people seem to want that too, as 80k+ emails have been sent since Friday asking them to agree to it.
Tell government enough is enough. tellthemtuesday.com/arbitrat…
The response to this by @PremierScottMoe and @jeremycockrill will be very telling. It's an opportunity to do the right thing. Tick tock.... #wearestf #skpoli – at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
📢 NEWS RELEASE: Today, the STF invited government to commit to binding arbitration on the issues of class size and complexity. If government agrees, we will immediately suspend job action and return to the bargaining table.

Exceptional press conference from @SaskTeachersFed this morning. Grateful for the insights offered by the guests representing BC, Ontario and New Brunswick. Complexity issues are in collective agreements @PremierScottMoe @jeremycockrill It's time to do the right thing. – at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan should view education spending as investment @STFPresident @SaskTeachersFed @PremierScottMoe thestarphoenix.com/opinion/c… via @TheStarPhoenix – at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
I can do this all day @PremierScottMoe. You are not winning this one. Educators are united, and we have overwhelming public support. @SaskTeachersFed #ISupportSTF – at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
This concept and understanding of it is not difficult. One is the same as the other. Innately, educators are terrible advocates for themselves but do EVERYTHING they can to support their students. It's become impossible and enough is enough. #iamstf @SaskTeachersFed @SaskParty

Thank you Heidi! Teachers across Canada are facing challenges around increasing class complexity, lack of supports for students, and deteriorating working conditions. It has been promising to see other provinces negotiate with teachers on these big issues. Solidarity!

Class complexity is impacted by increasing numbers of students who require additional supports, which include additional language supports, counselling, reading and speech interventions or other learning needs. Class complexity isn't only 'behavioural incidents'.
This February, a new specialized support classroom pilot project will be launched that focuses on helping manage and de-escalate behavioural incidents.
This project will help address classroom complexity by assisting students who need targeted interventions in the short-term.
Our government is providing a $3.6 million investment to fund the pilot in eight school divisions across the province which will run until the end of the 2024-25 school year.

By now, you've seen the government's latest attempt to spin their harmful education cuts — billboards plastered around the province with misleading messages about investment in schools.
Let's cut through the spin and correct the record.
