根据卡尔加里教育委员会（CBE）的注意，计划于5月3日周五上午9:20至9:50进行的学生示威游行已经引起了关注。这是一个学生主导的省级举措，旨在提醒人们新政府可能会削减在性别与性取向联盟（GSA）方面对LGBTQ+社群的保护。相关信息已经在Instagram上宣传，并得到了部分媒体的关注。

CBE认识到公立学校在建设更强大民主社会方面的重要性，同时也尊重学生为重要事业发声的权利。尽管我们支持学生的发声和参与，但是家长/监护人应该知道此次学生示威游行并非CBE认可的活动。我们不会鼓励参与，也不会阻止学生参与或在抗议活动结束后返回学校。

选择参与的学生将被视为未经允许的缺席。作为安全预防措施，我们建议选择参与的学生留在学校校园内。如果学生缺席，家长/监护人有责任向学校报告学生的缺席。未报告缺席的学生将被视为未经允许的缺席。

为了参与者和周边社区的健康安全，卡尔加里警察局已经被通知了这次可能的示威游行。

我们建议您与孩子就参与活动的问题进行交流，根据您家庭的最佳选择来决定。与孩子讨论他们为何想要参与以及其他可以发声的方式。如果您的孩子决定参与示威游行，也请他们做出安全的选择并且保持尊重。

​It has come to the attention of the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) that on Friday, May 3 from 9:20 to 9:50 a.m. there is a planned walkout of students. This student-led, provincial initiative, is concerned that the LGBTQ+ community may potentially lose their protection when it comes to GSAs under the new government. It has been promoted on Instagram and has received some media attention.

The CBE recognizes the importance of public schools in creating a stronger democracy and the right of students to advocate for important causes. While we support student voice and engagement, parents/guardians should be aware that this student walkout is not a CBE-sanctioned event. We will not encourage participation, nor will we prevent students from walking out or re-entering the school at the end of the protest.

Students who choose to participate will be marked as an unexcused absence. As a safety precaution, we will suggest that students who chose to participate stay on school property. If a student is absent from school, parents/guardians are responsible for reporting their student’s absence to their school. Students whose absences are not reported will be marked as an unexcused absence.

The Calgary Police Service has been notified of the potential walkout, in the interest of the health and safety of participants and the surrounding community.

You are encouraged to speak with your child about participation based on what works best for your family and talk about why they want to participate and other ways they can make their voice heard. If your child chooses to walk out, please ask them to make safe choices and to be respectful in their participation.
