As a mother and an educator, I am passionate about inspiring and supporting children to be creative thinkers and compassionate citizens. Oh & a T1 diabetic.

If I’m understanding this properly the $750 for #OntEd elementary teachers is…a bit of a scam.
$450 is funding from the government. $300 is being taken directly from school budgets.
Per teacher.
And the vendor is TBD.

@JBradshaw01 Especially when the classes in elementary will all be combined grades to stack to the maximum & without enough EA support for special needs students & special education and ESL supports.

[Jill Promoli @jillpromoli]

Am I counting right? Are we now anticipating a 21-week break from the legislature?

That can’t possibly be right.

Having dedicated, medically-trained staff added to schools to support the administration of insulin and glucagon would be amazing.

Expecting already stretched-thin EAs, secretaries, or teachers to do this is a recipe for disaster.

Thank you for coming to my #EdTalk.

"Toronto Island is far more than a recreational destination. It's one of the most ecologically significant natural areas in GTA. It provides critical habitat for 🦅🪺, 🦋, 🐍, wildflowers, dunes, wetlands & 🌳🌲. These habitats deserve strong protection."

Starting this weekend, there’s a new way to experience the Lake Ontario shoreline! 🌊

This transformed stretch of Mississauga’s waterfront is now the new Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area, a vibrant 26-hectare greenspace creating new opportunities for people and wildlife to connect with nature.

TRCA is proud to have worked in partnership with @CVC_CA, @regionofpeel, @citymississauga, and @cityoftoronto to bring this vision to life, restoring a once-degraded shoreline into a thriving natural space.

Starting this Saturday, the public is invited to explore it for themselves. Visitors can experience key wildlife habitat through an expanded network of trails, pathways, bike routes and pedestrian bridges, all designed to support both recreation and conservation.

We’re excited to see the community discover and enjoy this incredible new waterfront space!

Paul Calandra is cutting $4.7 million from PDSB's special education. This funding cut is devastating. Here we are this time last year outlining the problems with the funding formula. We have been calling for proper support. Instead he took over our board. #onted #onpoli

@simoncholland Instead of just using the floor?

[Jill Promoli @jillpromoli]

They've allowed the Ontario Autism Program to crumble, deeply underfunded special education, and now they're taking away access to information about spec ed in ~40% of Ontario schools.

Why is this govt making it so hard for families of kids with exceptionalities?

[Markus de Domenico TCDSB WARD 2 Trustee Etobicoke @Markus4Ward2]

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."

Yikes!! 😬

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

Closing specialized classrooms with high levels of 1:1 support and dumping vulnerable students with complex needs into regular classrooms with no additional supports other than telling their teachers to use visuals is not actually “inclusion”. #OntEd

[Kimiko Shibata 🦋 @ESL_fairy]

When school boards are underfunded they have to look for ways to balance the budget. This means cuts to programs. I’m not sure what will be left by the time Ford is done this term.

[Jill Promoli @jillpromoli]

A reminder that PDSB has balanced our books every year and we have $130 million in reserve that the Minister won't allow us to touch, while he underfunded special education in Peel by $45 million, and spec ed across the province by $850 million last year.

NEW: Most classroom teachers are unable to adequately support students with special education needs, according to a new AG report.

The report also raises concerns about rising EA absences, and students sent home when schools couldn't meet their needs. https://t.co/OxGhFeqxYX

Bullshit. People across Ontario are feeling the impact of 8 years of your expensive scandals where hundreds of billions of our hard earned tax dollars are secretly going to your Gravy Class pals through bogus lawsuits, contracts and schemes. Don’t try to gaslight us. #Onpoli
