Gifted is not uniform. That's why gifted students have special needs. They can excel in Math but below potential in other areas. Want to learn more about why MACC is so important? Hear from the experts. youtube.com/watch?v=g7h32X… #vanpoli #savemacc


Students and teachers of MACC are especially vulnerable to cuts by @VSB39 #bced #vanpoli #savemacc

If the budget that staff prepared for you will not support the human rights of our most vulnerable learners and the mental health of our teachers then ask more questions of staff. Demand accountability and transparency and have them revise the budget until they get it right. 4/4



⚠️Parents with kids at Osler MACC under pressure… Make a decision for your kids’ Grade 7 year by April 30 (was May 10). Immediately after open house at the potential new school (Tecumseh) Is this how @VSB39 treats all families of neurodivergent kids? #savemacc #vanpoli

Consolidation of MACC English classes: 22/23: Osler 2 classes, Tecumseh 1 23/24: Osler 1 class, Tecumseh 1 24/25: Tecumseh 1 class 25/26 - @VSB39 cuts remaining Tecumseh class? Everything possible is being done to drive down enrolment to justify closing MACC #vanpoli

Remember when @Vote4ABC promised to restore/increase @vsb39 gifted programs? Joke’s on you, suckers! @victoriajungvan @PreetiFaridkot @KenSimCity #vanpoli

Here we go again… It’s 2024 and we’re still fighting the fight. @VSB39’s plans from 2021 are kicking in. After 30 successful years supporting neurodivergent kids, MACC at Osler will be no longer exist next school year. #vanpoli



23/24 MACC offers/rejections being sent out this week. Frustrations from families: ❌Their kids did NOT excel in regular classroom so they aren't suitable for MACC ❌Their school-based teams did NOT know to send MACC application after CCAT assessment was done #savemacc


It's 2023 but our fight continues.. Anyone can go to our site to see updates and read about why parents, alumni and students are still working to #savemacc. notion.so/savemacc/Save-…


The issues that the new @VSB39 Trustees will decide affect every VSB family. These decisions will include whether MACC and other gifted ed programs continue. Please watch -- and vote! #vanpoli #bced #savemacc #VanDPAC

The evidence is very clear that educational acceleration for the gifted is educationally efficacious,” said David Lubinski, professor of psychology and human development” at Vanderbilt University, and study co-author news.vanderbilt.edu/2020/08/03/aca…
