The situation in Edmonton continues to deteriorate.

The Minister of Education had previously called on the Edmonton Catholic board to get their act together and speak with one voice regarding their response to government policy guidelines for protection and treatment of LGBT students. Today the Archbishop has effectively expressed non confidence in the Board in a pastoral letter addressing the diocese’s opposition to the guidelines.

The Board has lost the confidence of both the Minister of Education and the Archbishop. Unless something changes soon, I suspect the Board will be dissolved shortly and an interim trustee appointed. (as far as I know, the last time this happened was with the Calgary public board in 1999).
