UPDATED OAP NUMBERS! We sent in another FOI request to MCCSS. The graphic below visualizes what it showed. We're working hard to keep you informed bc families should know what's going on. #50KIsNotOK #60KIsNotOK #70KIsNotOK #Relentless #NeedsBasedTherapy #onted

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

Bringing common sense back to Ontario’s classrooms.

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.

@JBradshaw01 We’re with you Jason.

Why does this make me nervous? #OntEd

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. #onpoli #onted

@OntarioPCParty Thanks @OntarioPCParty Here’s a look at your current record on support for autistic kids across Ontario.

Today is is World Autism Awareness Day! In 2008, the United Nations General Assembly designated this day to promote the full realization of human rights & fundamental freedoms for autistic individuals & to support their equal participation in society. 1/4

@jontsao Jonathan is right!

Leadership is about choices, and this government has chosen to allow 67,000 children languish on the autism wait-list. Families don’t need more words, they need action.

Thank you @jontsao! ❤️💛💜

To #OSSTF Members: You have seen Minister Calandra’s recent letter. Its tone was unacceptable. Let’s be clear. You do not need lectures on professionalism. You demonstrate it every day through the care, time, and effort you put into supporting students and making milestones like graduation ceremonies meaningful. What is missing from the Minister’s message is the reality in our schools. Provincial underfunding and understaffing are leaving students without the supports they need. You are the ones holding the system together. We see you. We value you. And we will always stand up for you. In solidarity ✊🏽

@SSarrazin_MPP May we suggest funding this adequately instead? Or what about public education? Health care?

We’re expanding Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport to boost capacity, ease pressure on Toronto Pearson International Airport, and create jobs.

ETFO Local President would like to see Special Education support in upcoming budget ihr.fm/41p6dKS

@PaulCalandra are you listening? I'm guessing not because you didn't bother to show your face and face the music. You know what you're doing. You're purposely cutting spec Ed to push our kids out of school.
