The theatrical scapegoating of school boards and trustees will do nothing to address the persistent underfunding of Ontario schools. My latest for the Toronto Star. #onpoli #onted thestar.com/opinion/as-for…

“We think the public would find it surprising that you have to beg a Conservative government permission to save taxpayer money.” The Minister clearly doesn’t respect Trustees, Directors of Education or school board staff, but if his Supervisor recommends … #TheTruthShouldMatter

Where are the Ford govt’s school supervisors? Parents tell us they haven’t been able to contact them & without trustees, they have no one to turn to with concerns like large classes: “it’s incredibly disappointing,” says Kiera Chion, whose SK daughter is in a class with 32 kids.

I want to thank Global News Toronto for the opportunity to discuss the challenges facing TDSB parents under Ministry of Education supervision. Parents are a much valued component of the local efforts to create the best educational opportunities for students! globalnews.ca/video/11416660…

Look at this school! Could be Toronto. Elected Trustees have for years sounded the alarm that funding needed to keep schools in state of good repair. Time to stop political games - province just needs to fund what we all see is needed. #onpoli #onted ctvnews.ca/kitchener/arti…

Classes at Monarch Park CI continue as normal today following last night’s small plane crash near the school field.

Excellent piece. Look to local school boards and elected trustees for innovations that can make life better for kids - full day kindergarten, school nutrition. this is why I fear they wish to remove trustees. because we keep pressing for what kids need.

substitute Alberta with Ontario everywhere here..#ontedu

The Chiefs of Ontario recognize the importance of this day in remembering residential school Survivors and their communities, and in reflecting on the ongoing impacts of Canada’s residential school system. #EveryChildMatters #NDTR2025

“The teachers are telling us: classrooms are feeling unsafe,” backlash grows over increased class sizes for special needs students in the TDSB on the same week the Ford government restricted public access to special education meetings. “This is silencing voices,” one parent said.

these numbers mean children are spending almost their entire elementary education on a waitlist for support... #onted #onpoli

Glad the Minister is reconsidering. Thank you to everyone who has called emailed spoken up - it makes a difference! #onpoli #ontedu AODA Alliance ONTAutismCoalition

this is great news!!

The data is clear: speed cameras save lives. Yet the province wants to ban speed cameras. Make your voice heard to help keep kids & pedestrians safe. Sign the petition, find events & more at bit.ly/save_speed_cam… ✍️📣

“This is clearly anti-parent legislation, because speed cameras are primarily used in school zones to keep kids safe. It is baffling that our premier has chosen to attack a road safety measure that primarily is targeted to help little kids.” #SpeedKills thestar.com/news/gta/with-…

Lost in the news cycle: Ontario’s elementary teachers rally at Queen’s Park against the possible elimination of elected school trustees: “it will centralize power, harm students, and strip communities of their right to shape public education,” said ETFOpresident Elementary Educators.

“A child with autism has the same right as any other child to be at school,” but a growing number can’t attend due to a lack of special supports, ONTAutismCoalition says. The waitlist for core services has also tripled under the Ford govt, with students now waiting an avg of 5 years.

Families of students who access Special Education programming often aren’t able to attend in person, as Paul Calandra suggests. A preview of Bill 33, one man decides & parents are excluded from advocating & supporting their child. The system is better when all voices are heard!

it was a wonderful time!
