✈️ $28.9 million for a private jet. While education workers are cut, students lose crucial supports, and schools are told there’s no money. This government keeps choosing wrong. "That is a disgrace." — Joe Tigani, President #AirFordOne #FundOurSchools #BetterSchoolsBetterTomorrow

Ontarians want school funding — not governance shakeups. The Ford gov is scapegoating trustees to cover up $6B+ in underfunding since 2018. Workers are stretched thin. Students lack supports. That’s the real crisis.

"We’ve called on this government to come to the bargaining table early to address these issues, and they’ve refused. Instead, they’re creating more bureaucracy while dodging accountability.” — Joe Tigani, President of the OSBCU

Ford gov is stripping power from elected school board trustees and handing it to unelected executives. “A blatant power grab that does nothing for students.” — Joe Tigani Underfunding, staffing shortages, violence in schools — still ignored. 👉 See statement

Today, Minister Paul Calandra introduced a new law stripping power from elected school board trustees. Budgets move to unelected, govt-appointed CEOs + education officers. $6B underfunding. Rising violence. Fewer supports. This isn’t reform, it’s a power grab.
