"Support staff (in public education) are miracle workers... but even miracle workers have limitations. We need early intervention programs funded so that our kids are supported.”

Fran, an #OSSTF Member, shares why Ontario needs to fully fund #OntEd!

Ontario schools will suffer from Ford government's education funding shortfalls, boards warn https://t.co/UQErdu7UN4 via @torontostar #onpoli #onted

[OSSTF Communications @osstf]

Apparently, going "back-to-basics" is code for getting rid of educators!

Since 2019, the gov't has cut 5000 educators from #OntEd. They've made class sizes bigger to cut costs. Instead of investing in students, Ford shortchanges them at every turn! #OSSTF

Ontario has cut 5,000 classroom positions since 2018. Yes, cell phones are a distraction. The real problem is the underfunding of public schools. #onted #onpoli.

How many positions has your school board lost? See the board-by-board breakdown below.

“Ford can find money for Staples & Walmart but not to properly fund our public ed system. Students, families, & ed workers end up paying the price. Enough is enough!”

#OSSTF D-21 member, Allison Cillis, calls on Ford to stop shortchanging #OntEd! #OnPoli

At a time when hate speech and discrimination towards the #2SLGBTQI+ community is increasing, we must commit to creating safe, inclusive communities and learning environments for ALL youth!

#OSSTF opposes all forms of hate!

Hey parents, you might want to check out this video again in light of the govt propaganda Lecce just required all school boards to send to parents claiming to have increased funding for education.

Your child is getting less support thanks to this govt, not more.

Doug Ford uses taxpayer dollars to run radio ads to turn public opinion against teachers.

How much did those ads cost?

How many Educational Assistants or HEPA filter replacements could we afford with that money?

[Wendy Goodes @WendyGoodes]

Extremely well written ⁦@David_Moscrop⁩!
“politicians and the public need to keep pressure on Ford and Clark to resign and on the government, whoever is at the helm, to reverse the Greenbelt decision.”

More #OntEd staffing cuts announced!

Ford gov's underfunding of public ed means even more students will not have the supports they need! Frontline professionals are being CUT & students lack access to critical assessments & interventions.

How about apologizing for consistently underfunding & underspending in #onted to the tune of $1200/student since 2018, once you account for inflation?
