Minister Fassbender's statement on B.C. Court of Appeal ruling
Education Minister Peter Fassbender made the following statement on the B.C. Court of Appeal ruling:
“On preliminary review, we are very pleased with the Court of Appeal’s decision.
“Along with last year’s historic six-year agreement, today’s decision gives us a unique opportunity to work with teachers to improve outcomes for students.
“Since 2002, we’ve seen dramatic improvements in student outcomes, particularly for students with special needs – and teachers should be very proud of this.
“Starting to move past this legal dispute allows everyone to focus on what matters most – working together to improve opportunities and outcomes for B.C. students.”
