The Ford government is putting politics before students, again.

Instead of investing in Ontario’s schools, Education Minister Paul Calandra is forcing through a political takeover — stripping power from elected trustees, silencing parents, and handing our schools over to partisan hacks with no education background.

Here’s what’s really happening:

• Funding is down by $1,500 per student since Ford took office
• $6.36 billion has been ripped from classrooms, leaving schools crumbling
• Teachers and education workers are being cut while class sizes balloon
• Parents are being shut out, and elected trustees are being replaced by political appointees

This isn’t about student success, it’s a power grab that puts control in the hands of Ford’s insiders and takes it away from local communities.

It’s time to go All In to Support Our Kids.

Marit Stiles and the Ontario NDP are fighting back — and standing up for the kids, parents, and educators being left behind.

We’re calling for:

• More teachers and education workers in every classroom
• Smaller class sizes and safer schools
• Real investments — not political games
• A voice for parents and communities, not partisan control from Queen’s Park
