Hats off to Opeongo HS grads. A record? Of 96 grads, 51 (50%+) are Ontario Scholars, 38 received RCDSB medallions (40%) and 90% of university bound received entrance scholarships. Noah Fleurie, delivered a powerful valedictorian speech describing student life through a pandemic.

Congratulations to OHS Wildcat Quinn Coughlin!!

The Ford gov awarded $3M in men-only hockey scholarships, overlooking women. Then, they attacked Ontario University Athletics' calls for equity as "quibbling".

@CFifeKW and OUA are right. Women and girls in sports deserve equal support and opportunities. End of story. #ONpoli

Ford says 10 is the safe limit, but puts 30 kids in a class and 70 on a school bus.

We need a second-wave plan, and it has to include a cap on classes, a plan for nursing homes & more.

Let’s not just react to the second wave. Let’s have a plan that stops the spread of #COVID19.

[Andrea Horwath @AndreaHorwath]

My motion to cap class sizes at 15 was blocked by Doug Ford Conservatives this week, but the NDP Official Opposition will continue to keep fighting for #SmallerSaferClasses. #SmallerIsSafer #onted

Class sizes vital to curbing spread of COVID-19 in schools, Sick Kids experts say | The Star https://t.co/1q5ja8fvoV

[Jane Grant @JaneGrant10]

.@fordnation and @Sflecce say that “Secondary schools in (non-designated) boards typically have fewer students, fewer schools and smaller high schools.”

But our CLASS SIZES are just as big or even bigger!

We need a better plan for a #SafeSeptember

What more important investment could there be in our economic recovery, in our community health and safety, than funding a safe return to schools?
Ford's plan fails on all fronts. #onted #onpoli

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

What I see: $26.69/school (4828)/school day (194) in new $ for cleaning supplies & increasing lab capacity categorized as a school investment. What I don’t see: reduced class sizes for elementary kids or $ for infection prevention experts from hospitals to guide safe reopening.

The Toronto Fire Chief is a firefighter. The Toronto Chief of Police, is a police officer. The President & CEO of SickKids is a Doctor and a Director of Education should be a teacher! @ETFOeducators @CTFFCE

60 per cent of kids say they're "largely unmotivated" by online classes, according to a new poll. https://t.co/edkNVjXnbH
