Doug Ford’s government has stepped in to take over more school boards using powers expanded under Bill 33. Instead of addressing chronic underfunding, the province is centralizing control at Queen’s Park and cutting local communities out of decisions about their own schools.

These takeovers don’t fix the real problems facing education. They shift blame, reduce transparency, and weaken local governance while student supports, staffing, and services remain under pressure.

Join us for a province-wide virtual town hall to break down what’s happening, why it matters, and what comes next.
 

Along with special guests, we’ll discuss:

- What the latest school board takeovers actually change

- How Bill 33 expanded ministerial power over school boards

- Why underfunding is being reframed as a governance issue

- What parents, students, educators, and communities can do now

- How this fits into the broader fight to properly fund public education

This will be a campaign briefing and organizing conversation, with time for updates from across the province and discussion about next steps.

If you care about well-funded schools and democratic local oversight, this conversation is for you. Please share this invite in your local parents' group, with others in your school community, family members, and friends. We need to spread the word!
