Parents, teachers, students, and society want schools opened safely.

They also want decisions to be consistent and data-driven.

Last week it was 40 weekly cases per 100,000... Now it’s 150?

This afternoon it was up to local MOH’s... But now it’s up to the CMOH?

@SuzieQRL @DoubleEDad @imgrund @SteiniBrown I was just about to say the same thing. Modelling shows worst case scenario and gives us the power to make the right choices to stop it from being our reality.

The @HWDSB wants asymptomatic testing in their schools but the @cityofhamilton MOH Dr. Richardson says, “They're not major sites at all for us.”

She REFUSES to push for this, as the city moves into a LOCKDOWN.

Come on Dr. Richardson, what are you hiding? https://t.co/PW5XYeAqfa

What is public education worth to you? I’ll continue to march in solidarity with my @ETFOeducators until @fordnation agrees to a fair deal for our students. #cutshurtkids #ETFOstrong

The 98% strike mandate of elementary educators shows Ford’s Ed Minister it’s time to move beyond words and media stunts about “reasonable and constructive bargaining” to actually support the students in our schools. Reverse the cuts and fund public education!#onted #onpoli

[Elementary Educators @ETFOeducators]

Here's the truth. The government's announcement last week confirms that less money will be spent on education. The Grants for Student Needs (GSN) funding amount is $54 less per student than what was projected last year. Public education needs investment not cuts! #onpoli #OntEd

[Sam Hammond @SLAR2023]

Facts matter:

The government has frequently pointed to declining enrolment of students, yet their own GSN numbers note an increase in Average Daily Enrollment of Pupils in elementary (1,415,086) & secondary (597,275).

Facts matter:

1.4 billion in funding for repair & renewal of school facilities. NO new funding to deal with the $15B backlog in repairs & the gov doesn’t note that it cancelled $500M in funding earlier this year.

Just so we are clear Doug Ford, I will not be thanking you for this $1.6B you are throwing out to ensure “not one teacher loses their job.” You won’t dazzle me into forgetting you’ve cut programs kids need and increased class sizes. #ETFOstrong #BuildingBetterSchools
