@FairTobeKind@Junior444@lyingliberals1@neves12_ana@fordnation “Over the last decade...” patting the liberals on the back for the money they put into education?😄 You can’t just read the headlines. While teachers salaries have gone up slightly, the increase in spending largely due to new hires due to class size decreases and caps k-3.
@FairTobeKind@lyingliberals1@neves12_ana@fordnation Enrolment in the province increased. More total kids in school. If there were 5 kids in Ontario schools getting $5 each=$25. If the next year there are 6 kids but they get $4.50 each that’s $27. More spending overall but less per kid.
@lyingliberals1@FairTobeKind@neves12_ana@fordnation For sure - that’s fair, but this isn’t a new funding system and it is used by every party in power (or some iteration of it). You can’t get rid of the one secretary or one janitor so where does the money come from? Technology? support staff? Building repairs? Training?
@lyingliberals1@FairTobeKind@neves12_ana@fordnation Who’s crying? The statement you made was misleading. Btw - they aren’t handing the kids 12 grand. The total represents the cost of all staff, facilities, materials, administration... etc. 300kids x $54 less means $16k less funding for the year.
@FairTobeKind@lyingliberals1@neves12_ana@fordnation Rising enrolment is the reason that funding has increased - ” The province announced the 2019-2020 school board funding on Friday, and it shows that boards will get $12,246 per pupil, versus the $12,300 they got in this school year.” https://t.co/BtyxM1WB36
