Happy Education Week #OntEd! This year's theme, Public Schools: The Heart of Your Community celebrates public schools as a community hub 🏫 They're open and welcoming for all students, families, and community members 🤝🏼 #EducationWeek #OSSTF
Stephen Lecce and his caucus seem not to have learned about the impact of inflation and population growth when they learned basic math, but I’m sure one of the Minister’s new math coaches could probably walk them through how it affects education spending. #onted
Ontario is spending less and less on schools. $1,500 less per student compared to 2018-19. Analysis and chart in the link below. #onted @onpoli. monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
This Red Dress Day, I’m supporting the call to create a Red Dress Alert. Will you join me? @OSSTFD25TBU ofl.ca/action/red-dre…
Ontario has cut 5,000 classroom positions since 2018. Yes, cell phones are a distraction. The real problem is the underfunding of public schools. #onted #onpoli. How many positions has your school board lost? See the board-by-board breakdown below. monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
Every year, we recognize #EqualPayDay… the day in April that the average woman in ON has to work in order to have earned the same salary that a man earned in the previous year. It’s 2024 – enough is enough! Join the movement to end the pay gap ➡️ equalpaycoalition.org #OSSTF

Apparently, going "back-to-basics" is code for getting rid of educators! Since 2019, the gov't has cut 5000 educators from #OntEd. They've made class sizes bigger to cut costs. Instead of investing in students, Ford shortchanges them at every turn! #OSSTF monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
Tune into CBC radio tmrw to hear #OSSTF President @karenosstf discuss cell phones in schools + MORE Ford gov't cuts to #OntEd funding! 6:20am - Ottawa Morning 6:40am - T Bay 6:50am - London 7:00am - ON Morning 7:10am - Metro Morning 7:20am - Sudbury 7:50am - KW 8:10am – Windsor

Today we celebrate #MayDay and honour workers all over the world 🌎! It's a day to show #solidarity with all labourers as we collectively fight for fair wages, safe working conditions, and improved public services. #OSSTF #CanLab #OnLab
"(Ford) gov chooses to shortchange public ed, which drives down wages… Qualified professionals leave, causing staffing issues & it’s students who suffer." #OSSTF President @karenosstf calls on Ford to stop shortchanging #OntEd! #OnPoli Full video: youtu.be/RTe9OOTE9zQ
It's pretty absurd to learn that @opl_bpo has to resort to fundraising from the folks who use library services. Meanwhile, MILLIONS are put towards OPS funding increases and road widening. Budgets are about priorities - this is yet another indication of where the city's are at.
I understand that most kids aren't going to love Shakespeare, but some will. Just like some will love the graphic novels, and some will love the poetry. Stop telling me *what* to teach and just let me share my joy--because that is what's contagious.
I see this every single day. Multiple emails appealing for administrative help when jobs go unfilled. Full day/half day/the offer of flexible hours but still no coverage. It’s a very real problem, especially when trying to ensure the safe arrival of our students. #OntEd #OSSTF
The #OntEd staffing crisis continues to hurt schools! Every week, nearly 1/4 of schools have office staff shortages. That means services are increasingly limited for students as the Ford gov't refuses to invest in recruiting/retaining staff. #OSSTF ▶️ bit.ly/3PFyszB
It’s April 23rd & we’re back at this nonsense again. @Sflecce has not released the funding papers to school boards, holding up important planning for next year. Preventing boards from starting the staffing processes creates significant instability in the system. #onted
"Min. of Ed must fund (school boards) to cover the TRUE operating costs... We cannot continue to operate under outdated funding models that fail to address students’ current & future needs adequately.” #OntEd globalnews.ca/news/10430501/…
