Our schools need funding for real supports to keep students and education workers safer. The latest budget allocates $41 mil for SRO programs that have been proven to cause real harm.
Fund Schools, Not Cops. Write the Education Minister and your MPP today! #OntEd #OnPoli #PolicingFreeSchools
Didn't have a chance to share this in the #dreamforward keynote. If you find yourself anthropomorphizing #AI, this will show you under the hood and stop that reflex:

This is also true in Ontario. More and more, we are caring for, and in some cases are the only positive influence for, Ontario’s children. And yet the Ford government continues to cut supports. #onpoli #onted #etfo
New: The TCDSB's provincially-appointed supervisor has cut an international language learning program for elementary students for next Sept. The change will impact nearly 20k students and lead to the loss of about 100 teacher jobs, per the union. #onted www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat...
Between skyrocketing rents and rising cost of groceries, young people and families are already stretched thin. Now, with cuts to OSAP, the government is adding educational debt to the list. We deserve better than a government that makes life harder.

Budgets are a reflection of government priorities.
Education funding has dropped by 3.6% this year. CCPA's new report shows that this government continues to put #OntEd on the back burner, leaving students without the supports needed to succeed.

Shoutout to Thunder Bay Elementary Unit President Michelle Pero for speaking UP for students & OUT against the Ford government's continued underfunding of education!👏
#CatholicTeachers will continue fighting for the investments our #OntEd schools & communities need & deserve!

Spoiler: Ontario’s public education system is still underfunded.
#OntEd #OnPoli #ONBudget2026
Real cuts to education.
That’s what this budget delivers, with K-12 funding down 3.6% in real terms.
And 1.9% in post-secondary.
Our schools cannot keep doing more with less.
Full analysis from @policyalternatives.ca : bit.ly/4rXq8vy
#OSSTF #OntEd #OnPoli #ONBudget2026
$171.3 million cut from #OntEd when our classrooms are already overcrowded and vulnerable students with complex needs don’t have the support they need to be safe at school.
$69.2 million in cuts to Post Secondary Education when colleges and universities are already in crisis.
In #OntEd we assign a grade of "R" when a student needs extensive remediation and support. I am assigning Doug Ford R's across the board for his Ontario 2026 Budget.
@maritstilesndp.bsky.social @jessicabellto.bsky.social
Yet again, the govt's budget fails students, families, teachers, and education workers.
Ontario's education unions are united. We're calling on the govt to start the bargaining process now, so we can best support students with real investments in #OntEd.

It’s budget day in Ontario.
To best support the students we serve, #CatholicTeachers, joined by AEFO, ETFO, and OSSTF, were at Queen's Park yesterday, to talk to MPPs about how real investment in #OntEd is critical to unlock Ontario's future.

A great thing to watch! Top teams used to run away with it, but in year 9 over 80% of teams scored within 20% of top team flags, everyone improved!

Every large scale change to public education in Ontario was preceded by a well-informed province-wide consultation & report.
Educational stakeholders are calling for one now on governance prior to any decision on removing local democratic representation.

"Kids do well if they can" - Dr Ross Greene
Schools must be safe spaces for everyone. But it seems there's a misunderstanding of what is happening when students display "challenging behaviour"
It's not intentional but often a sign of lagging skills & sensory overwhelm
#OntEd #autism
This morning, I joined Parents of Black Children to call upon the Ford government to immediately implement the Dreams Delayed report's recommendations to address systemic anti-Black racism in our schools. Every student deserves to be safe in our schools and free from discrimination.

#CatholicTeachers, joined by AEFO, ETFO, and OSSTF, are taking action at Queen's Park today ahead of the budget.
We're speaking to MPPs about the power of publicly funded education and why real investment in #OntEd is critical to building a prosperous future.
I was proud to join the Ontario Autism Coalition and education advocates from around the province to demand better funding and real support for our kids, especially our most vulnerable kids. Children with disabilities deserve real support, real funding, and real inclusion.
