Very happy to see this! The CSA has been advocating for this for over a decade Minister @PaulCalandra & has worked extensively with @Sflecce and supports his bill 98 changes and looks forward to working with yourself and Minister @ToddSmithPC | @ReycraftDoug @StephJaworski

[Paul Calandra @PaulCalandra]

It was great to speak with education leaders from across the province today to discuss opportunities to make it easier to build new schools faster.

A streamlined municipal land use approvals process would help us build complete communities and ensure students have access to schools close to home.

[Marcus Ryan @marcusryanzorra]

The @csaont has advocated that when the moratorium is lifted that it be left in place for schools qualifying for the Rural & Northern Education Fund. It would be nice to see @CathyAbraham and @OPSBA agree. Rural and northern schools need that acknowledgment.

CSA Exec member @StephJaworski asks:

[AMO @AMOPolicy]

Q11. Will the Rural and Northern Education Fund be increased to $50M to meet needs? A11. Min. @Sflecce says the moratorium on school closures will continue. He says the $50M request has been received, it will be considered. Outlines investments. #AMO2022

[Community Schools Alliance @csaont]

Thanks for the meeting. It’s critical we continue this chat & convert that commitment to rural & northern schools to policy action. See you at #AMO2022 ! @AMOPolicy

[Stephen Lecce @Sflecce]

Our government is firmly committed to supporting schools in rural Ontario & the students that depend on them.

Positive chat with @csaont, along with MPPs @MayorKHolland & @JAYakabuski to build modern schools & get kids back to class in small towns & villages across the province.

Press release from the Community Schools Alliance describing the results of recent research commissioned and the reports of the consultants @TheHEALab who conducted the research.

[Community Schools Alliance @csaont]

The funding formula problems that affect high growth areas like London also affect rural and northern communities.
Time for change.

[Marcus Ryan @marcusryanzorra]

Good talk on @CBCLondon with @shawnwlewis , should talk to @afclark82 as well, and @csaont
This is a province wide issue affecting large and small communities. @AndrewLuptonCBC

[Community Schools Alliance @csaont]

The broken capital funding model affects suburban and urban communities as well. We need capital funding that reflects the needs of children and their communities.

[Marcus Ryan @marcusryanzorra]

Great to talk to you about this today @afclark82 with @kellyelliottmcm
These types of problems are the result of a broken education capital funding model. @csaont has been lobbying on this for years. Children and community first.
