Wow! Thank you to Danby Appliances for your generous donation of 500 air purifiers to @TDSB school https://t.co/gADllN9jH8. Staff are prioritizing distribution to schools most directly affected by COVID-19 w/o mechanical ventilation 1/2

I surrender & so should you. @Sflecce
As TCDSB trustee I may be 1 of many people responsible for class sizes.
How can anyone justify 10 people for inside gatherings and condone 25 to 30+ in classrooms with no distancing, poor air quality & windows still not open? @krushowy

"Mandate letters traditionally lay out the marching orders a premier has for each of his cabinet ministers after taking office — and have been routinely made public by gov. But Ford is seeking leave to argue the case in a higher court to prevent its letters from becoming public."

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

"It's a total waste of taxpayers' money, but apart from that, it's a total denial of the kind of transparency that's necessary in a democracy." 

Exactly!!! 👇🏼👇🏻👇🏽👇🏼👇🏻👇🏽

"Ontario’s Financial Accountability Office reported Thursday that investments in schools and child care account for just 1 per cent of federal and provincial spending on COVID-19 recovery."

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

“...the government will not do what everybody is telling them they need to do to restore confidence in reopening, which is to reduce class sizes. They either don’t care, don’t respect the system or, at the end of the day, are not unhappy to undermine it.” https://t.co/J2Dw5y5odk

[OntarioSAFE @OntarioSafe]

This is the reality in #onted schools thanks to the refusal of @fordnation & @sflecce to fund an appropriate plan. Classrooms sit locked and empty beside packed classrooms with far too many students to allow for distancing. #UnsafeSeptemberON #smallerissafer #ontariosafe

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

Q. In June you said that class sizes would be capped at 15. Did you mislead parents when you said that?
A. (Lecce) What we said in June was based on the data available at the time.

June 20th: 206 COVID cases
Sept 7th: 190 COVID cases

??????????????????????????????

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Infections are on the rise again, and most kids are being sent into schools and classrooms where they can’t possibly physically distance. We need Ford to stop hoping for the best and start acting to ensure the safety of kids, education workers and their families. #OntEd #onpoli

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

No, Minister.🤦‍♀️

"What will happen in our schools" will be a reflection of your failure as Minister & your government's failure to do EVERYTHING in your power to keep our children AND communities safe.

You were told that #SmallerIsSafer.

You chose this.

⭐️⭐️BREAKING NEWS - BACK-TO-SCHOOL⭐️⭐️

@fordnation says he, “Takes the advice of doctors.”

EXCELLENT. I’ve generated a thread containing statements and advice from 13 prominent physicians.🏫

Let’s see what they say.

🦠A COMPILATION.🦠

#NEW: While elementary class sizes in ON won't be reduced, a memo obtained by @globalnews shows the # of Ontario Public Service employees returning to work will be "It is anticipated the average maximum capacity for the workplace will be about 30% at any one time" #Onted #Onpoli

[🇨🇦 Sandra 🇮🇹 @Clio1973]

@Travisdhanraj @globalnews I guess government workers are more important then our kids and teachers. Why don't they all go back to work next week? If the schools are fine to open with no ventilation, no social distancing the government offices should be fine. @fordnation

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

Teachers, education support staff, all school board staff, please take the time to hear what the “experts” have to say about the amazing work you do everyday. Just wow! ⁦@ETFOeducators⁩ ⁦@CTFFCE⁩ https://t.co/sGyoBEjPqq

[Travis Dhanraj @Travisdhanraj]

#NEW: This joint letter from #Onted Unions @osstf @ETFOeducators @OECTAProv @AEFO_ON_CA was just sent to @MonteMcNaughton & @Sflecce requesting an immediate meeting- they allege the gov't plan to reopen schools doesn't meet requirements set out in ON Health & Safety Act #Onpoli

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

Premier please read page 10 of the medical experts plan:

“Smaller class sizes should be a priority strategy as it will aid in physical distancing and reduce potential spread from any index case.”

@ETFOeducators @CTFFCE #onted #onpoli

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

Hey @metromorning pls raise this with @Sflecce I can confirm that these are dollars negotiated to restore some of the CUTS to education. This is status quo funding. The government is lying. #onted
