@DurhamCatholic The weather alert has been upgraded to ORANGE and your schools are open. I am very concerned about the well being of students and staff who are in your buildings today. Surrounding school boards have closed.
The Ministry of Education has changed the way schools are funded, eliminating protected funding for school libraries and library staff.
Let the Ford government and Education Minister @ToddSmithPC know that every student in Ontario needs a properly funded and staffed school library!

Ford's gov't quietly repealed Bill 124 today - distancing themselves from a policy that cost taxpayers millions and left workers out to dry.
Now, with our public health care and education systems in crisis, Ontarians must live the consequences of Bill 124 every day.

BREAKING: The Ford government has officially repealed Bill 124.
In a statement the gov’t says it was repealed “in its entirety” via a cabinet order.
“Repealing the Bill will solve for the inequality of workers created by the recent court decision,” the gov’t says.

@djnickuk@Mudwelly_Beth@Censored4sure You're 👍 not to jump. That being said, I did read that no drugs or alcohol were found on scene. He had returned from playing 2 hrs of pickleball.
@Ange8D@n_weva@Teachers__Unite Right? Pretty sure the evidence is in our pay stubs! In 2007 when I started teaching the CA allowed for a 3% yearly inflation raise. Since 2010 it's been a series of minimal increases! Cost of living vs. salary increase, we have taken CUTS to our salary.
@theJagmeetSingh Yet those who didn't get vaccinated for covid are still denied life saving transplant surgeries. Justin Trudeau denied healthcare and basic human freedoms to people he did not agree with.
In 2011, I made $92,826 as an Ontario teacher. In order to support my family in the same way, due to inflation, I would need to make $125,655. While inflation rose 33.4% my salary rose just 8.5% 2012-2023. 1.25% a year is not going to work. We are short nearly 25%. #ETFO#onted
As we move to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive environment, we must remember to respect and listen to all voices, especially those we disagree with. To diminish and attack the mere idea of contrary views is to become the oppressor.
Imagine being in an awful car wreck. The car is totalled & ppl are injured. @Sflecce comes along. He offers u a bandaid & some glue, then tells u to get back in the car & drive.
The car is our edu system
The ppl in the car are #CUPE members, other educators & kids
