It appears all the trustees except two (Sheila Taylor and our Trustee Carol Bazinet) would rather not ask our opinion about corporate branding in our schools. As I posted earlier this week, some rule changes were made that will pave the way for sponsorship money coming to the board:
The CBE recently changed two of its administrative regulations and would allow, under certain conditions, spaces such as classrooms to be named after companies that donate to the school board. - source.

Of course the CBE does not want to survey Parents. They prefer to make their own decision and ask Parents after the fact. This way they can avoid much of the time consuming controversy that may arise. It is good to see that at least a couple of our Trustees can see the value of Parents in the system.
Personally I don't want to see advertising in our Schools. Everyone is totally bombarded by the media constantly. How can we raise our Children to be free thinkers if the media is allowed to tell them what to do, or think, in the Education system.
Are these Companies making donations to the CBE or are they purchasing advertising space?
