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
Text from Part One of the Ontario Proposal for regulations under the Education Act, related to school boards and local police services 1) Access to School Premises and Participation in School Programs The proposed regulations would require school boards to provide local police services with access to school premises, and participation in school programs, for any of the following activities, events or programs: • Community and student safety programs • Programs providing training and drills in respect of lockdown procedures and other emergency preparedness • A school resource officer program, which may also be called a youth engagement officer program • A road and driving safety program • A learning and mentorship program • A youth engagement program •A student well-being program • A program to build relationships between local police services and students.
Text from part 1 of the Proposal for regulations under the Education Act, related to school boards and local police services, continued School boards would also be required to permit police officers both access and participation at career days, extra-curricular events, festivals, fundraisers or any other activity or event involving parents, guardians or other members of the community who may also have access to the school premises. For any of the above activities, events or programs, if they are being delivered by a board at a location off school premises, the board will also be required to permit the police services' participation and provide access to the location. School boards would be required to permit officers to participate at these events whether they are in uniform or in plainclothes.
Someone wants the police deeply embedded in the fabric of public schools. It’s not okay. This makes kids less safe. Leave a comment www.regulatoryregistry.gov.on.ca/proposal/52954 #onted #onpoli #policingfreeschools #fundourschools

Today, OSBCU’s Equity Rep Jehan Bisnauth spoke outside Queen’s Park with Policing Free Schools to demand an end to Bill 33.
Policing doesn’t belong in classrooms — investment in students does.

I would add that many academics keep studying certain policy initiatives with lots of public money and resources that could be spent studying and building alternatives. For ex researching #schoolresourceofficers and programs rather than building #policefreeschools and #policingfreeschools
Very pleased & grateful to welcome Andrea Vásquez Jiménez from Policing-Free Schools to our monthly PETL Executive meeting today to discuss #NoToBill33, #PolicingFreeSchools, the direct connections to a fully funded public education system, & how we must push for better. #ETFO #OnLab
