Ontario has underfunded schools by $6.3 billion since 2018. Per student funding is $260 less than what it was back in 2018. #onted https://t.co/w7VQPxlckt

The AG report showed that violence in schools has risen 114% across the province. Our emergency safety plan would address this and put more caring adults in schools to help our kids. Why won't the government take action and help our children succeed? #onpoli #onted

Bless all of the Educational Assistants for the work they do to provide access to education for our most vulnerable.

Bless the Child and Youth Workers who help students in crisis to hold it together every day.

Underpaid.

Overworked.

Amazing humans and heroes.

“It’s a nightmare out there for schools. We have a huge (teacher) shortage & a great number of unfilled jobs on a monthly basis" - #OSSTF local leader Linda Bartram shares how the #OntEd staffing crisis (fueled by Ford's funding cuts) is hurting students.

A cabinet shuffle shouldn’t let @Sflecce off the hook for his part in the dismantling of Ontarios #Educaton system. #onted @fordnation

If Lecce handles the energy file like he handled education we will all be using candles soon. @Sflecce

“As the Minister of Electrification, I recommend plugging in up to 32 devices per outlet. More devices will make the outlets more resilient.”

[Wendy Goodes @WendyGoodes]

Parents have no idea @Sflecce what their children have to deal with in elementary schools under your watch. You continue to spout $ rhetoric as your answer for everything. These are the #s of unfilled elementary teacher vacancies in a small rural board. Who’s looking after them?

[Mike J. 🇺🇦 🇨🇦 🏳️‍🌈 @MikeJToronto]

@Sflecce It's not surprising that when stakeholders - including parents - rejected larger class sizes and mandatory online learning - not only did you ignore them, you hid the results of your own poll. Shame! #OntEd

@krushowy @TorontoStar So the big home ec curriculum changes @sflecce announced on Friday haven’t even been developed yet, and the Ontario Family Studies & Home Economics Educators’ Association didn’t even know this was happening. How will this be ready for September like he promised? #onted #onpoli

If it took 11 hours to get beer, I would push Ontario to change that. If it takes 11 hours waiting in ER to see a doctor, Ontario says they are "Working for you" to open 8500 new alcohol retailers to the tune of $1 billion. It's a matter of priorities.

If there's anything radical right now in the province of Ontario, it's your government cutting $1500 per student in education funding since 2018 & trying to strip collective bargaining rights from education workers.

We are the ones on the side of students & workers in education

[Chandra Pasma @ChandraPasma]

With @ETFOeducators watching from the gallery, Lecce responded to questions about growing levels of violence in schools with a reannouncement on cellphone bans from 2019.

This Minister never fails to show how out of touch he is with the state of public education.

[John Vanthof, MPP Timiskaming-Cochrane @john_vanthof]

The Ford government just voted against the NDP's motion to increase funding for the public education system. It's a shame when we go into our ridings and hear stories about violence, evacuations and classrooms that are too hot to work in. https://t.co/DvE5HEXNAT

[OSSTF Communications @osstf]

“The board is hiring anybody they can to come & supervise these kids. They don’t instruct; they don’t do lesson planning... They’re just there to make sure the kids are safe.”

Ford's cuts to #OntEd are fueling this staffing crisis! #OSSTF #OntEd #OnPoli

Nurses held my hand when I struggled as a new mom.

Nurses treated my parents, tackling complicated health issues this year, with such care & professionalism.

Nurses are the cornerstone of our public healthcare system, experts & leaders.

So proud to work alongside Ontario's nurses to build a strong, public system.

[Northumberland Labour Council @CouncilLabour]

There is no one who has more disdain for the people they’re meant to serve, support and represent than the @Sflecce. Since we are unlikely to hear from him, Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek Thanks for all you do to make things work in a system being dismantled before our very eyes.
