Outrageous! The Ontario School Boards that @PaulCalandra Runs are surveying Parents on Budget Priorities, but @TDSB Survey Creates the False & Harmful Impression that Boards can Deprioritize #SpecialEducation www.aodaalliance.org/whats-new/sc... #OntEd #accessibility

I mean.. 0% chance there isn’t something else going on, with Doug.
But even at face value:
Sure it’s helpful to those teachers, but it’s classic Conservative.. we will take away all funding, cut thousands per classroom + educators. Millions of 💰.
Here’s $200.
*aren’t we the best?!* 😊

FUND PUBLIC EDUCATION NOT ONE-TIME GIMMICKS CONTACT PREMIER DOUG FORD 416-325-1941 SUGGESTED SCRIPT: HELLO, I'M THE PARENT/ CAREGIVER OF STUDENT(S) IN THE ONTARIO PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. I WAS PLEASED TO SEE THE FORD GOVERNMENT MPPS ADMITTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT, DUE TO THEIR DEVASTATING BUDGET CUTS TO PUBLICLY-FUNDED SCHOOLS, TEACHERS IN ONTARIO ARE BEING FORCED TO "PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR CLASSROOM SUPPLIES' RATHER THAN FOCUS ON SPLASHY GIMMICKS LIKE ANNOUNCEMENTS OF ONE-TIME DROP-IN-THE-BUCKET PURCHASING CARDS, I URGE PREMIER DOUG FORD AND MINISTER OF EDUCATION PAUL CALANDRA TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND INVEST IN PUBLIC EDUCATION IN ONTARIO. FUND SCHOOLS PROPERLY. ENSURE THERE ARE ENOUGH EDUCATORS TO SUPPORT LEARNER NEEDS. BRING BACK OUR SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES. THANK YOU AND HAVE A GOOD DAY.
Fone Ford Friday. We need a fully funded public education system, not a poorly thought out gift card giveaway. We need smaller class sizes and more student supports, can you buy that with these? Didn’t think so, Doug. #onted #onpoli #fundourschools
“There are a number of us who are extremely concerned that we won't be able to let our name stand for trustee in the upcoming municipal elections. I think the community should be extremely concerned about this, because this is an attack on local democracy.”

PEEL EDUCATION WORKERS UNITED MEDIA RELEASE:
Over 300 Educators Laid Off in PDSB as Ford Conservatives Use Supervision to Push Through Cuts
PETL President Nadia Goode: "Under Calandra’s watch, more than 300 educators are being laid off. It's shameful." #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab
Happy Friday the 13th!
It seems to me the last time it was Friday the 13th going into March Break was 2020… and we never went back to school after that! 🦠
Stay safe out there #OntEd!
“Your nonverbal child who runs away from school into traffic will not have 1:1 Educational Assistant support at school to keep them safe.”
No parent should ever have to hear these words in Ontario schools.

This is one of the most pathetic announcements I've seen from Dishonest Doug. Shortchanging schools by billions, but here's a $750 gift card for some teachers to buy toilet paper and basic supplies that schools can't afford. #onpoli #onted
www.ctvnews.ca/windsor/arti...
Such an important piece of this announcement is there is no new money in the budget for this! It’s just reshuffled underfunding with probably more costs associated with administering the program #onted #onpoli
This is one week after Ford’s Education Minister removed local democratically trustees under the guise of acting to prevent layoffs of 60 teachers (something that wasn’t even actually happening) … #onted #onpoli
Children in #OntEd don’t schedule their mental health crises for when a Child and Youth worker has assigned hours.
I appreciate the fact that Doug wants me to stop paying for my own markers, but we also need funding for consistent support for vulnerable kids.
Thank you for coming to my #EdTalk.
