Scandalous. MoH should find this, not charity. Another example of small town rural Ontario being wilfully left behind as prov policy depopulates rural and then reduced services because of reduced pop.

Amazing!

Did you watch Mayor @marcusryanzorra delegate to the @TVDSB last night?!!
Puts spotlight on province-wide governance issues that have been brewing for years. Link: https://t.co/R8PAj58poe
This article does A good job of capturing the main issues & points. https://t.co/HR1QQ0dadh

[Save Char-Lan @savecharlan]

@marcusryanzorra is a vocal advocate for rural schools. He says out loud what so many are thinking.
If you are interested in the future of #rural #onted, you should watch!
You can tune in to his April 26th delegation at this link https://t.co/8GJPWTMjt3

[Marcus Ryan @marcusryanzorra]

On Tuesday April 26 at 7pm I’ll be back at the TVDSB making a delegation on governance.

Have you been following the governance shenanigans at the #TVDSB?
They are making a good case for getting rid of school boards.
A podcast episode that is worth the listen!

Shutting Down Elected Trustees: Ontario’s @TVDSB Board Meeting video from April 19, 2022 shows how School Administration seeks to limit trustee autonomy on reinstating mask mandates. Over to @marcusryanzorra @kellyelliottmcm @OPSBA https://t.co/zuCb0wyvZT #onted #onpoli

[Jonathan Sher @SherOnHealth]

The communication sent by @DirFisherTVDSB and his senior team conflicts with the motion to require masks passed the board of @TVDSB and proposed by @CorrineRahman -- a motion that passed 7-5, including the support of chair @lapizzolato
1/12

[Save Char-Lan @savecharlan]

Who is in charge here?
School board Senior Administration puts out a statement that "recognize the efforts" of trustees but surrounds it with comments that undermines those efforts.
#TVDSB

[Marcus Ryan @marcusryanzorra]

Regardless of your position on masks in schools, this is another spectacular demonstration of #TVDSB poor governance.
The communication is so bad.
Is senior admin and the director doing their job? Or are they actively undermining elected officials?
Will the trustees do anything?

[Save Char-Lan @savecharlan]

What do school boards really do?
School boards have lost 90% of their functions over the last twenty years. There are ways to provide education more effectively with more accountable local decision-making.

[Marcus Ryan @marcusryanzorra]

Now’s the time!
Ask your MPP!
Ask your candidates!
Ask your councillor!

[Debbie L. Kasman @DebbieKasman]

Trustees in Ontario are not doing the job they’ve been elected to do. Our 200-year old governance system no longer works.

"Prior to publication of their December 2020 issue, Eric Hamber vice-principal Dale Ambrose told the students he was uncomfortable with the newspaper publishing a statement decrying QAnon as false because it might offend parents who believe in QAnon."

Equitable services for rural students fall short today. What happens when a board takes a rural trustee seat away and gives it to the City.
School closures fights are often lost by 1 vote.
See post below to learn about the worrying proposal being made @TVDSB

[Marcus Ryan @marcusryanzorra]

TVDSB report on Trustee distribution.
Board could reduce County Trustees from 6 to 5 & increase London Trustees from 6 to 7.
The resulting “balance” would significantly reduce rural voice.
But you’ve all seen how much they care about that…

Tune-in for what is surely going to be more discussion of the @TVDSB #Rural #Education Task Force and efforts by local #muni to be part of the conversation.

[Marcus Ryan @marcusryanzorra]

Watch @CTVLondon @BrentLaleCTV tonight for more coverage of rural school issues.

[Save Char-Lan @savecharlan]

Concerning developments in SW Ontario.
Nothing in draft @TVDSB #RuralEducationTaskForce is controversial...and, even if it were... why is work funded by the public being hidden?
Should local #muni not have a chance to provide comment on a draft report?

🧵After Oxford County published agenda TVDSB Chair & Director sent this letter to Oxford County.
This attempts to intimidate staff into not publishing a public document that you payed your elected officials to write.

The CPS is advising motorists to please be aware of potential traffic delays at the Canadian Port of Entry at Brookdale Avenue and Water Street. If possible, please plan to use alternative travel routes.

[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]

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.
