Since the first Leandro ruling, a generation of North Carolinians have graduated, gotten jobs, and started sending their own kids to school. Yet NCGA Republicans still haven't fully funded our schools. We can't afford to delay any longer. #ncpol #Leandro #FundOurSchools #ncga

Handy tool from @osstf.bsky.social for how to talk about investment in public education with friends & family over the holidays! #onted #onpoli #fundourschools
Blue and yellow themed graphic On the left side Title: How to Talk About Investing in Public Education with Friends and Family THE MAIN FACTS: • UNDERFUNDED: Since 2018, the PC government has cut $6.3 billion from K-12 funding. Ontario ranks dead last in per-student post-secondary funding. • UNDERSTAFFED: Ontario is facing an historic shortage of teachers and education workers. OVERCROWDED: Schools are overcrowded and class sizes continue to grow under this government. VIOLENCE AND SAFETY: School boards report a 77% increase in violent incidents since the PCs took office. Image of a snowman with a megaphone below On the right side of the image : RESPONSES TO COMMON ANTI-EDUCATION RHETORIC: PC Supporter: The government is investing historic amounts into education. Unions just want more money. The TRUTH: Since 2018, the PCs have cut $6.3 billion from Ontario's education budget, even as student needs rise. Ontario also ranks last in Canada for per-student post-secondary funding. The entire education system is feeling the strain. PC Supporter: School boards and trustees waste money. Students are better off without them. The TRUTH: The real issue in public education is this government's deliberate underfunding. Bill 33 is a distraction from the PC's poor track record on education. Students deserve real investment, not political games. PC Supporter: Working in education is easy - I could do it. I'd love the summers off. The TRUTH: Ontario is facing an historic shortage of teachers and education workers because the PC government has underfunded the system for years. Supports for students have been cut, workloads have grown, and many education workers still do not receive full-time pay for full-time work. Students and staff deserve better than a race to the bottom. PC Supporter: My classes were huge when I was in school. I don't see the issue. The TRUTH: Class sizes have grown under the PCs, and students are feeling the impact. Kids are sharing textbooks, some don't h…

Someone wants the police deeply embedded in the fabric of public schools. It’s not okay. This makes kids less safe. Leave a comment www.regulatoryregistry.gov.on.ca/proposal/52954 #onted #onpoli #policingfreeschools #fundourschools
Text from Part One of the Ontario Proposal for regulations under the Education Act, related to school boards and local police services 1) Access to School Premises and Participation in School Programs The proposed regulations would require school boards to provide local police services with access to school premises, and participation in school programs, for any of the following activities, events or programs: • Community and student safety programs • Programs providing training and drills in respect of lockdown procedures and other emergency preparedness • A school resource officer program, which may also be called a youth engagement officer program • A road and driving safety program • A learning and mentorship program • A youth engagement program •A student well-being program • A program to build relationships between local police services and students. Text from part 1 of the Proposal for regulations under the Education Act, related to school boards and local police services, continued School boards would also be required to permit police officers both access and participation at career days, extra-curricular events, festivals, fundraisers or any other activity or event involving parents, guardians or other members of the community who may also have access to the school premises. For any of the above activities, events or programs, if they are being delivered by a board at a location off school premises, the board will also be required to permit the police services' participation and provide access to the location. School boards would be required to permit officers to participate at these events whether they are in uniform or in plainclothes.

“Students with special education needs accounted for half of all suspensions or expulsions in 2023-24, per the data.”

Important context on what constitutes violence, from the article, “if a student with special needs became agitated and threw a block at their teacher, drawing blood, it would be reported to the ministry as a violent incident”

Violent incidents at the TDSB remain higher than pre-pandemic: report
Despite more reported violent incidents at the TDSB, the number of students suspended has declined slightly since pre-pandemic. Why?

Public schools are the heart of our democracy — but they’re being gutted by extremists who fear educated kids more than underfunded classrooms.

Yesterday, CTU members went to Springfield to tell Governor Pritzker and the Democratic supermajority to fully fund our schools.

We are fighting for the schools our students deserve. And there is only one way to do this—taxing the rich and billionaires.
