I had the great pleasure of serving as the board mentor for our student trustees. Trustee Al-Delaimi and Trustee Hou have shown incredible leadership, insight, advocacy and have represented their peers brilliantly. Thank you for the honour of working alongside you.

This evening, we held our final Board of Trustees meeting for the school year. Board Chair Lyra Evans made a special presentation of recognition to student trustees Tabarak Al-Delaimi and Antong Hou.

Have your say in your child’s education!

During debate for Bill 98, the gov refused to adopt amendments requiring consultation because they were “going to consult anyway.”

Now the gov has set up a consultation process but are failing to promote it.

So let’s make sure as many people as possible can participate👇

@laine_johnson1 I really appreciate this new left turn signal on both sides! Pedestrians are safer, and there are less potential of accidents with cars that want to turn left, who are often just hanging out in the middle of the intersection waiting for space. Next: protected bike lanes!

[Amanda Presley @apresley613]

@Buffone_Pino @OCDSB Thrilled for this next chapter! Congratulations 🥳

@SueGard94 Link is broken?

[Amanda Presley @apresley613]

Very grateful for all who provided insights re: 23-‘24 #ocdsb budget. Despite being severely underfunded by the gov’t, I believe the board and staff did the best with what we were given. I am so encouraged by the strong advocacy of our OCDSB caregivers and parents, THANK YOU!

[Amanda Presley @apresley613]

The OCDSB already allocates much more funding to our spec ed programs than what is enveloped to us by the gov’t & we are being tasked with decisions that no board should have to make. I have talked to trustees province wide and we are all facing the same issues. MORE FUNDING NOW!

[Chandra Pasma @ChandraPasma]

This gov't is failing kids with disabilities by critically underfunding special education programs across the province. It is appalling that Min @sflecce can claim that the special education allotment is enough while kids with disabilities are being left behind.

ALSO- the kids raised over $60 for @CHEO today!!! Great job Miles & Lia!!

#collegeward we are so blessed to have such an active and engaged city councillor. I’m also convinced that @laine_johnson1 doesn’t sleep and must have a clone because she is always on the go! Thank you for your dedication and hard work :)

[Laine Johnson @laine_johnson1]

Great to spend some time with @apresley613 at the @QTSRCommunity Garage Sale today in #collegeward. We are in good hands with her as our trustee @OCDSB.

[Amanda Presley @apresley613]

@laine_johnson1 @QTSRCommunity @OCDSB Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by! So wonderful to hang with the kids and have a sugar snack haha. ❤️

[Amanda Presley @apresley613]

@laine_johnson1 @QTSRCommunity There will be lemonade, cookies and brownies for sale on Cobden road! 😉

[Laine Johnson @laine_johnson1]

The @QTSRCommunity is hosting their annual Garage Sale tomorrow, 8am- noon! I really enjoyed this one last year and you can't beat the forecast. Let's stay in #collegeward with the downtown streets all closed and meet our neighbours! #shoplocal #CircularEconomy

[Amanda Presley @apresley613]

School visits are the some of the best highlights of serving as your trustee. I am always so inspired after these visits and extra THANKFUL for all of the AMAZING staff and students here at the @OCDSB ❤️

[Chandra Pasma @ChandraPasma]

Thanks to Mme Mackay, Trustee @apresley613, and staff and students for a great visit to Agincourt Road Public School today. I appreciated the opportunity to see you in action and learn more about the challenges schools are facing right now. #MPPSchoolDay

[Amanda Presley @apresley613]

@ChandraPasma Thank you for your time! I know it’s SO appreciated :)

[Amanda Presley @apresley613]

Had a wonderful time at @SirGuyKnights sports day today! Seeing students getting to reconnect and cooperate while playing was the best. The passion, care and love that our educators and support staff envelop our students in every SINGLE day is SO heartwarming. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

@rollforlearning @SueGard94 I’m so grateful to have had @SueGard94 as a teacher in 7/8. She helped me in more ways as a student, and as a young human being navigating this world, than I could ever try to express. ❤️
