1 in every 4 schools has an active case of COVID. 1 in every 12 schools has multiple active cases. 1 in every 100 schools is closed due to COVID.

#BREAKING: The Ontario government has tabled its new budget focused on "protecting people". Notably missing from the budget: #PaidSickDays. You can't say you're "protecting people" if you aren't investing in keeping people healthy during a pandemic. #OntarioBudget2021

ON 2021 budget makes it clear that publicly funded public education in this province is NOT a priority for the Ford government. $1.5B needed in 2021-22 just to maintain status quo in education Government increased funding by $700M Shortfall...$800M #Shame

When you give $200 payments parents can’t even buy a laptop for online learning. But when you pool that money and fund technology in schools, or extra supports for students struggling through this pandemic, you can lift so many more up. Buying votes!! #onted #ETFO #FireLecce

My school has over 500 students. That means that Stephen Lecce's $600 per child bribe could have instead been an additional $300 000 for our school. Think of what that could provide for your child's school experience... #onted #onpoli

Lecce Dec 2020: We are determined to get kids back into class - essential to their mental health, well-being, and development. March 2021: ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Mass vaccinate those postal codes. Do the same with essential workers in warehouses, processing/distribution centres & factories. Please @FordNation Send the fire engines to where the fires are. Michael Warner @kashprime Darren Markland Isaac Bogoch

"Schools are safe" is a political statement that ignores #COVID19 transmission in schools. "Schools are important for children's mental health & education, but must be made safer for students & staff" is more nuanced, but not said because of $$$. #OntEd cp24.com/news/totally-h…

In Ontario, today I learned that if the government has to send you to another part of the province for medical care because they failed to prevent the predicted third wave and the ICU near your home is full, it's up to YOUR FAMILY to pay for you to come back home. #onpoli

One of the flying things seen at the park today. #PaidSickDays

It's interesting to see pundits who endlessly disparage teachers write about how critically important schools are for kids to thrive. Who, pray tell, is responsible for making these institutions such a positive force in children's lives?

So let's recap. Full classes, full busses, common lunches, extracurriculars and assemblies, but we are still doing quads/modified quads? WHY? #onted

Minister Lecce dodges my question as to why reporters are not allowed in today’s news conference held in a classroom yet 35 students will be allowed to spend six hours a day in that very classroom come September.

So, Premier Ford wants Caucus members vaccinated but not workers who care for vulnerable people? How does this even make sense? #onpoli

These new locker door "book spines" at Glenforest SS look amazing! Great reading suggestions too!

The Doug Ford gave his caucus MPPs (mostly men) a raise of over $16,600 per year but only $780 for the mostly women who works in education. You think his MPPs work harder than your kids childcare worker? #onted #39kIsNotEnough

Reminder: Ontario teachers have been at school, working on an expired contract since August 31st, without taking any form of job action, while MoE Stephen Lecce drags his heels. So who is not acting in "good faith"? This would never never happen in the "real world". #OntEd #onpoli

Ford is sitting on billions of dollars that he could invest in our public health care system immediately. Ontarians are waiting in pain…what is Ford waiting for? #onpoli ontariondp.ca/news/ndp-fao-r…

How much daily funding does Stephen Lecce’s claim work out to per student? 25 CENTS! And that’s with rounding up. How much mental health support did your child get for 25 cents today? #onpoli #osstf #onted #tdsb #yrdsb #etfo #osstf #cupe #oecta #aefo
