I heard our future Premier @MaritStiles speaking tonight about building affordable housing, fixing our schools, protecting farmland, and rebuilding public healthcare.
Ontario deserves a government that cares about all of us, not just wealthy donors.
ALT Kimiko Shibata and Marit Stiles looking happy.
Far too many parents in #OntEd are being asked to keep their vulnerable child with complex needs home or to only attend school part-time because of insufficient staffing to keep their child safe.
This is not okay.
Please fix this, @JillDunlop1.
School boards are DANGEROUSLY underfunded & are cutting vital special education capacity to save $ THIS ISN'T OK! Those classes/supports are the only reason many of our kids can even be in school. WE SEE YOU
@JillDunlop1 & @fordnation!

Please also fix the existing older schools with condemned ventilation systems, lead in the drinking water, windows that don’t open, leaking rooftops and windows, mold and mildew, crumbling walls…
The best kept secret is that schools already had these rules in place. This is a brilliant PR strategy to detract from the fact that violent incident reports have gone up significantly in Ontario schools with the cuts to specialized supports and programming for vulnerable kids.
Here is what I know to be true:
When we put the needs of the most vulnerable learners at the forefront of our planning, ALL students are more likely to succeed.
It’s that simple.
All kids deserve adequately funded schools and supports for safety and academic success.

Day 3 and final day of Area Rehearsals for the 37th Annual Kodaly Choral Festival @wrdsb
Over 900 students singing over two nights. (May 7 & 8) Guest artists are KWs own “the.trainwrecks” @WTTWRDSB
It's that time of year again when we start introducing you to our new incoming @Laurier students of the graduating #Classof2028. Today, we're excited to extend a warm welcome to TL! TL is joining the Faculty of Music to pursue a Bachelor of Music in percussion.
Excited that the Kodaly Festival Area Rehearsals are back after a 4 years (covid). Hear singers at Centre In The Square on May 7 and May 8 (16 schools each night). @wrdsb@kodalychoir
Idea:
Survey all people graduating from Faculties of Ed to find out why or why not they are choosing to work in schools.
Also: an exit survey for all educators who leave the profession.
Then use that data to help recruit and retain educators. #OntEd@Sflecce
