Schools have already been left $6.5B behind, and a new report from the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario reveals that real per-student funding, already at its second lowest level in 10 years, will continue to decline as the govt underfunds #OntEd schools.

School Budget 2025: $90,000
School Budget 2026: $51,000
Please remember this when Doug Ford and Paul Calandra try to tell you about the historic and unprecedented investments their government has made in education and how greedy teachers are always asking for more.

***Still learning here, I think image order is 2, 1 , 3 for some reason.
“Calandra’s office said ‘premature strike threats do not serve the interests of students.’”
You know what else doesn’t serve the interests of students?
• fewer student supports
• fewer specialist teachers
• larger class sizes
• increased violence in schools
• underfunded classrooms

Register here to join us on October 1st to discuss the challenges facing #OntEd: www.eventbrite.com/e/state-of-e...

Just sayin’. #OntEd
Just a reminder for those saying that this govt is spending "record amounts on education" :
The total $ number may be higher, but that's doesn't mean that the money is IN each classroom
Funding formulas, and areas of focus, have changed
Funding per #onted student is 🔻 2018
