Accomplishments Sophia WOO and Ken DENIKE Achieved

胡慧仪和邓立勤的贡献

Getting school break on lunar New Year. A goal of Sophia to mesh professional day closures with ethnic holidays, for 2015 Sophia initiated a motion which got cooperation of the Vancouver Teachers to move a professional day.

让学校在过中国农历新年的时候放假。胡慧仪的目标之一就是使教师进修日能契合各族裔的节日。她为2015中国新年所提的动议得到了温哥华教师们的支持,使他们愿意挪动教师进修日来配合中国新年。

Having the Board examine school safety and provide direction to administrators with some consistency across the district. Prior to this safety matters were largely on a school –by-school basis. In one matter Administrators were unclear about the instructions for first responders in case of emergencies. A school warning code indicating Green for all clear was inconsistent with first responders code Green for evacuation.

让教育局检验学校的安全状况,并在全区给行政人员提供了一致的检验标准。在此之前,每个学校的安全检验标准都是不同的。比如,行政人员对于紧急情况下到底给现场急救员什么样的指令不清楚。学校的警报指令用绿色表示解除警报,而现场急救员一般认为绿色是疏散的意思,这是不一致的。 

Sophia moved a motion to examine Policy on locking external doors. Administrators had different opinions about direction to lock external doors. A staff study was conducted and Board authorized a resolution which was circulated to schools.

关于锁后门的政策问题,Sophia提出一项动议。行政人员对于锁后门的指令有不同的看法。一位职员对此进行研究,最后教育局授权了一个解决方案在各个学校执行。

Getting mosquito devices used to deter vandals turned on. The devices were turned off because they were allegedly violating the human rights of youth. They took a common sense approach that it was the responsibility of trustees to protect school property and argued successfully to have the devices turned on.

用来防止乱涂乱画的驱蚊装置再次被打开。有人认为这些装置侵犯年轻人的人权而被关掉。学委的责任就是保护学校财产,这是基本常识。最终我们成功让装置被打开。

Focus debate on having historical wrongs against Chinese in prescribed curriculum as a stand-alone subject.

强调让指定教材中的反华历史错误成为单独的主题。

Continuing support for drug prevention. At the end of a federally financed pilot project four positions were transferred to VSB. In discussion for the subsequent budget year, 7 of 9 trustees approved cutting these positions. Through repeated motions, Sophia Woo and Ken Denike were successful in getting them funded. In the last budget deliberations for 2014/15 only 1 position is to be retained. Without them present and without their passionate defense, the drug prevention program would be restricted to triage rather than education.

继续致力于支持预防毒品侵害。在一项联邦资助的试点项目结束之时,有四个位置被转移到温哥华教育局。在讨论接下来的预算年计划的时候,9位学委中的7位支持削减这些位置。通过不断地提出动议,Sophia Woo和Ken Denike成功地为这四个职位争取到了资助。在2014/15年的预算评议中,只有一个职位得到保留。若是没有这两位学委的出席和有力辩护,毒品预防项目将被划为治疗类,而不是教育类了。
