“Ensuring all Ontarians thrive is essential for the economic and social health of the province. That support begins in elementary school. The unfortunate reality is that educators and families continue to be faced with an ableist system that is failing our children on a daily basis,” adds Mastin. “Students with disabilities cannot wait any longer. The need is urgent, and the Ford government must act now.” @ETFOpresident.

The Auditor-General’s report is "another damning indictment of a government that has abandoned its responsibility to Ontario’s most vulnerable learners," said @etfopresident David Mastin. "After more than a decade of chronic underfunding and policy decisions that have stripped supports out of classrooms, school boards simply cannot meet the needs of children with disabilities."
Education funding isn’t keeping up with soaring number of students with special needs, Ontario A-G says /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@Sflecce Pardon me? Have you actually looked at the FAO report that dropped this morning? Open your eyes Steve! Your government has Ontario bottom of the barrel on most measures.

The Ontario Liberals are more focused on fighting themselves than fighting for affordability and the families we serve.

ETFO responds to auditor’s report on #onted special education, and @ETFOpresident says, “This report is another damning indictment of a government that has abandoned its responsibility to Ontario’s most vulnerable learners. After more than a decade of chronic underfunding and policy decisions that have stripped supports out of classrooms, school boards simply cannot meet the needs of children with disabilities. The system isn’t just strained; it’s fundamentally ableist.” SEE RELEASE👇

Want to know what was in today’s Auditor General report about special education?
Hint: nothing good.
Doug Ford’s government is failing your kids.

The Auditor General released a report today exposing that special education in our schools is terribly underfunded, with school boards to spending an extra $346.7 million above their allocation.
Families are facing long waits, educators are overwhelmed, and too many students are not getting the support they need to succeed.
Minister Calandra, blaming everyone else without looking in the mirror will not fix the real problems in Ontario’s education system.

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:

#BREAKING: The Ford government just scheduled late-night sittings – until midnight – to ram through FOI changes.
Just when you thought this government couldn’t get any worse, they’re now scheduling late night sittings to quietly change the rules, hoping to keep Ontarians in the dark.

Doug Ford uses his phone for government business. The courts ordered him to release his phone records – so now he’s changing the law so he never has to. What is Doug Ford hiding?

@samoosterhoff It’s only common sense if you are angling to privatize public education in Ontario

As parents, we'd do anything to support our kids.
When your child needs extra help at school, they deserve caring adults who have the time and capacity to be there for them. But with fewer staff in classrooms, many families are left wondering: who will their child turn to?
Hundreds of teachers across Ontario are losing their jobs because of this government’s cuts to education. And it’s our kids, our educators, and our families who are paying the price.

Teacher input is key to getting this right.
A one-year program may bring in new teachers sooner, but without improved working conditions, it fails to address retention. A sustainable solution must address all #OntEd challenges, including class size, violence, and underfunding.

Yesterday was World Autism Awareness Day. What our friends and loved ones in this community need is for us to take our awareness and move to action. Far too many Ontario kids wait for support. These kids and families deserve better and this must be a real priority.
