Just sent a letter to Minister Calandra from our school parent council demanding a clear roadmap for when the TDSB will be taken out of supervision with Trustees returned to their role. Parent Councils should express their concern before it's too late! #topoli #onpoli #onted

Public education is the great equalizer. World Education Day is a reminder that our schools belong to the families and communities they serve… Not the government.

School board trustees are essential. They’re neighbours who listen, ask hard questions, and keep education decisions close to home. If the Ford government eliminates trustees, we lose more than oversight – we lose local democracy in our schools. Visit nwmd.social/s/twitter/4A2GYE…

Keep Education Close to Home

Ontario’s public school boards give families a real voice in education. Now, that voice is at risk.

A new school year and parents in Ontario’s two largest cities have no one to turn to when there is a problem with their child’s education. By this time next year all Ontario’s families will be in the same position if @fordnation has his way. Local matters in education.
