NEW from @TinaYazdani:
Education Minister Paul Calandra is defending his travel to an international conference after restricting trustees from using public funds to do the same. #OnPoli

Brutally honest condemnation of Calandra's Min of Ed
"The minister has said repeatedly that financial mismanagement by trustees is behind the deficits at many Ontario school boards. To fix that, Calandra sidelined trustees, imposed supervisors at eight boards, and limited the future role of trustees.
And yet, the AG’s report obliquely offers an alternative reason for school-board shortfalls. It says that 46 of the province’s 72 school boards spend more money on special ed than the province provides. The total in 2023–24 was $397.9 million. That’s about double the total of school board deficits.
It’s reasonable, then, to conclude that the root cause of school-board deficits is provincial underfunding of special ed."

The cuts that are being made to model schools will impact students and their communities. We need to continue fighting for model schools ✊🏼
Ontario’s education crisis isn’t “mismanagement” — it’s chronic underfunding. Schools are being asked to do more with less, and students, educators, and families are paying the price. Public education needs investment, not blame.

Back in March, we had the privilege of visiting the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg. A powerful experience reflecting on dignity, equality, and the resilience of Indigenous communities whose stories continue to shape Canada’s past, present, and future. ✊
The accumulated funding shortfall for Ontario schools since 2018 is now a whopping $6.4 billion
