Background:

Since Doug Ford came into office, he has cut education funding, and our schools have lost more than $6.3 billion due to these cuts. There are very real challenges in our schools, like larger class sizes, lack of mental health and special education supports, and urgently needed repairs.

Instead of addressing the funding challenges, Ford is trying to distract from his record by taking away our voices as a community in decisions about our local schools.

We can already see from school boards where the government has removed trustees; they’ve replaced them with handpicked representatives who aren’t consulting or communicating with us. They’re not accountable to our community, and parents can’t get rid of them or vote them out.

If we stand together, we can fight this power grab and protect our right to have a say in our education system. Let’s speak to our neighbours in Sault Ste. Marie and work together to send a message from our community straight to Queen’s Park!
