b'spring after significant flooding in Northern Alberta, ASBA worked with government on support for school boards facing insurance challenges due to increased premiums.Alberta is also undergoing a review of the student transportation system. The Student Transportation Task Force is examining legislation and regulations, school board responsibility for transportation, safety and cooperation. ASBA has a representative on the Task Force advocating on behalf of our metro, urban and rural school boards and has had multiple meetings with the Task Force chair. The Task Force is anticipated to make recommendations this fall.Events and ResourcesWhile events such as the CSBA National Congress 2020 in Banff were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several of ASBAs annual events and meetings moved to a virtual format. This spring was the first time in ASBAs 113-year history that a general meeting was held virtually. The meeting was a success with 60 of 61 member boards represented. ASBAs Board of Directors (taken December 2019)ASBA developed a new Education Services Guide and recruited three new consultants to ensure we can provide boards with choice and the best quality service for their unique needs. ASBA also continues to support local initiatives and pilot projects that bring trustees and the learning community together. ASBAs online platform, The Learning Centre (TLC), continues to provide trustees access to timely information and resources. Over the past year, this has included new courses and resources on effective board governance for trustee professional learning. We continue to add online courses designed to be accessed by members on demand, and to address specific outcomes.Through a collaboration with the Sixties Scoop Indigenous Society of Alberta (SSISA), ASBA added a new learning resource, The Sixties Scoop - Understanding Implications and Contributing toward Reconciliation, for members on TLC. The resource provides continued learning and professional development in supporting Indigenous Education in Alberta. While the learning resource is for ASBA members only, the video portion is available to the public.'
