The govt's Core Education Funding announcement is a thinly veiled attempt to hide cuts that will hurt #OntEd students.   #CatholicTeachers call on the govt to stop the cuts and work with teachers, parents, and communities to make real investments in our schools.

Instead of engaging meaningfully with #OntEd communities to best support students, this govt has rushed the passage of #Bill101, doubling down on its regime of forced compliance. Our local communities are what make our schools strong, not more backroom control at Queen's Park.
Catholic Teachers@OECTAProv

This govt power grab has nothing to do with student success, says @OECTAprez René Jansen in de Wal to MPPs at Queen's Park. #CatholicTeachers call on @PaulCalandra to withdraw #Bill101 and engage meaningfully with our local #OntEd school communities to truly support students.

I am sorry you chose to misquote me by cutting what I said- it is insignificant in the face of the $6.3billion you have cut for kids in classes. All of this is a distraction for control and the increasing cuts of your supervisors. Let’s talk about the real funding problem. #OntEd
Paul Calandra@PaulCalandra

Millions to outside organizations. “Infinitesimally insignificant.” I disagree. That money belongs in classrooms.

As a general rule, any legislation that needs to be passed in the middle of the night, is not good legislation.
Colin D'Mello | Global News@ColinDMello

NEW: The Ford government has called a late night sitting to pass the budget during legislative off-hours. If it gets 3rd reading tonight, it could be law as early as tomorrow. Rendering the court decision for the Premier to hand over his cellphone records moot. #onpoli

@ColinDMello No surprise. Promises of transparency and accountability replaced by hiding backroom deals and secret meetings from the public. He never promised to move to privatized medicare and cut 6.3B from education, The science center and the spa, the greenbelt, the vanity gravy plane...

New polling by Pallas Data shows Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives have fallen to 37% support in public opinion. The poll also shows 79% are opposed/strongly opposed to the premier's jet. (This poll was done for The Trillium) #onpoli

Fall 2026 marks a historic milestone as Scarborough’s first #medicalschool officially opens its doors to its first students! We are putting Ontario students first and ensuring the next generation of healthcare leaders are trained right here in our community. From doctors to nurses, we’re bringing world-class care home to #Scarborough.

The govt's budget fails students, families, teachers – everyone in our #OntEd schools. Instead of trying to protect itself by hiding from Ontarians, this govt should be laser-focused on investing in schools and the public services that truly Protect Ontario.

BREAKING: The Ford government has passed the budget bill, complete with the retroactive FOI scaleback. MPPs were chanting “F-O-I” in the house. #onpoli

This proposed legislation does not close the $6.3B #OntEd funding gap. It does not limit growing class sizes, address classroom violence, or any of the other issues hurting Ontario’s publicly funded education system. It is hard to see how this Act puts Ontario students first.
Colin D'Mello | Global News@ColinDMello

BREAKING: The Ford government has backed down from its desire to abolish school board trustees. Instead, the government is creating new board bureaucracy intended to have control over decisions, hiring and budgets. globalnews.ca/news/11799110/… #onpoli #onted

@siomoCTV The pattern of ideologically driven announcements made without proper consultation, without adequate planning and without enough time and resources to implement effectively - everyone has had that boss? This style of management never goes well. #OntEd

NEW: Minister of Education Paul Calandra says he'll share what's next for school board governance shortly after MPPs return from constituency week. That puts the announcement in mid-April, ~2 weeks before nominations for school board trustee races would open

Care, integrity, and a commitment to our students is standard for #CatholicTeachers, not only at graduation, but every day in the classroom. Hard to believe Minister Calandra holds those same priorities when he didn’t even bother to share this heavy-handed memo with us.
QP Briefing@QPBriefing

In an interview with QP Briefing, Calandra said that while he hopes boards will adjust voluntarily, he is ready to intervene using the full scope of his authority under the Education Act #onpoli #onted qpbriefing.com/news/ontario-r…

#OntEd teachers have spent their own money to compensate for the lack of classroom supplies for far too long. $750 for elementary teachers — ignoring our librarians, tech classes, & secondary schools — doesn't fix the $6B funding gap. @OECTAprez statement: bit.ly/47GxRGO
