Community Unites to Fight for Democratically Elected School Boards
MONTREAL, April 25, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - Community leaders and organizations representing English-speaking Quebecers have joined together to form a provincial alliance to support democratically elected school boards and convince the government to maintain them.
APPELE-Québec ? the Alliance for the Promotion of Public English-language Education in Québec ? is a broadly-based, Quebec-wide community coalition to promote the continued existence of English school boards, to ensure they are governed by commissioners who are democratically elected by the English-speaking community at large. Our Alliance, already with 16 supporting organizations and nine observer groups, is expanding rapidly.
"Our community is very alarmed by the Government of Quebec's stated intention to abolish school boards and school board elections," declared former MNA Geoffrey Kelley, who is chairing APPELE-Québec. "We understand that legislation to that effect is being prepared without any formal input from the English-speaking community."
