With no new money for schools in the Ford govt’s mini budget, educators are calling it “deliberate neglect” of “struggling students,” @ETFOpresident. “If any parent is hoping their child will have smaller classes or supports in class - that’s not coming,” added @MaritStiles.

The bullying actions of the Danielle Smith Alberta government to force teachers back to work and use the notwithstanding clause to strip away workers' rights are an attack on workers everywhere! ADD YOUR VOICE to defend rights that protect workers https://t.co/0ahwQzDBJ3

The province continues to rely on an outdated #onted funding formula, first introduced more than two decades ago. @etfopresident David Mastin says the model has left schools under-resourced, especially in special education, mental health and class size supports.

New today: Ontario’s education minister says he’s “not embarrassed” that school boards are being forced to pay $350k annually to the supervisors he appointed. Paul Calandra calls it an “appropriate amount of money” for them to limit school board spending. Watch our exchange:

Ford government appointed school board supervisors who have taken over the roles of trustees can charge $350K/year for their advisory work and the funds will come directly from the #onted board. Umm, what! How's that for an investment in students? #onpoli

Several school boards in Ontario, including Toronto public, Toronto Catholic and Ottawa-Carleton, have been under the management of supervisors for months.

The @CTFFCE acknowledges the recent decision from the federal government to make the National School Food Program permanent. This program will impact 400,000 children living in Canada and their families; however, the budget is a significant disappointment! #cdnpoli
The CTF/FCE is disappointed that #Budget2025 does not mention loan forgiveness for educators – a commitment from Budget 2024. Educators deserve answers on this program! 📝 Sign our letter to Minister @PattyHajdu to ask her when the loan forgiveness program will be implemented:

The Ontario Ministry of Labour needs to do their job. How can a company that Ontario government knows broke the law and owes their workers $250,000 in compensation be allowed to continue to operate as if nothing happened? @DavidPiccini #onpoli
