ETFO Peel

UPDATE & ACTION: PDSB senior leadership tried to force cuts to front-line student supports quietly, w/o trustee or union consultation. Ed workers organized & forced some reversals. Cuts are still happening, & pressure *must* continue. #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab #FundTheFrontlines 1/2

#ETFO MEDIA STATEMENT: Education funding falls well below inflation, failing students This govt continues to ignore…calls [for adequate, stable, inflation‑protected funding], choosing instead to mask real‑dollar cuts with political spin. etfo.ca/news-publicati… #OntEd #OnLab

#ETFO MEDIA RELEASE: ETFO responds to auditor’s report on special education @ETFOPresident: “This report is another damning indictment of a govt that has abandoned its responsibility to Ontario’s most vulnerable learners.” etfo.ca/news-publicati… #OnLab #OntEd

NEW: The Ford government tried to quietly close the public feedback period on its new education bill, changing the deadline to submit comments from May 13 to May 4 without notice. They reversed course after we asked why they were limiting public input: thetrillium.ca/insider-news/e…

Today, we wear red dresses to remember and honour the lives of Indigenous women, girls, and Two‑Spirit people who have been taken by violence and to stand with families and communities who continue to seek justice and healing. The red dress is a powerful call to action. #ETFO
