Today I am tabling the Improving Air Quality for Our Children Act, 2023. If adopted, this bill will help improve air quality in our classrooms and licensed childcare facilities. I hope that folks from all sides can stand behind this important issue for our kids #onted

The math is simple: 6.8% is significantly less than 17.3%. The Ford government is critically underfunding education across this province and our kids are paying the price. #onpoli #OntEd

With Bill 98, Stephen Lecce pins the blame on school boards for outcomes caused by his underfunding. But some of Ontario's provincial schools, which his ministry is directly responsible for, can't even use parts of their own facilities because they are in urgent need of repair. #onted

Yesterday, I asked Minister Lecce for the fifth time what the school repair backlog is in Ontario. He still would not answer. Parents deserve to know why their kids are in crumbling schools. #onted #onpoli

I would've hoped the minister could agree that using a cowbell as an emergency alert system in school for deaf students is inappropriate. I'll ask again. Jill Dunlop, do you think a cowbell is an appropriate alert system in a deaf school? #onpoli #onted

We are witnessing the largest cut to public education funding in the history of this province. Instead of constantly attacking teachers and school board trustees, the Minister should just fund education properly. Our children deserve so much better from this government. #onted

Our schools are dealing with a growing crisis of violence, that has now resulted in a very serious injury to an education worker. We need the government to implement the NDP’s Emergency Plan to End School Violence and properly fund education. #onpoli #onted

This gov't is failing kids with disabilities by critically underfunding special education programs across the province. It is appalling that Min @sflecce can claim that the special education allotment is enough while kids with disabilities are being left behind. #ONPoli #onted

The Minister of Education is running partisan ads funded by taxpayers to congratulate himself on a job well done…while our kids don’t have access to social workers, EAs, qualified teachers, or even school buses. #onpoli #onted

The Ontario Autism Coalition surveyed parents of children with disabilities & special needs & the data is clear: these children are not receiving the safe, supported, meaningful education they deserve. It's time for a govt that will actually support & include all children.

The Minister of Education needs to take responsibility for the broken school transportation formula and fix it, instead of insisting that it's working when it clearly isn't. #onted #onpoli

Yesterday, I asked Algonquin College president Claude Brule about the economic impact of the govt not supporting our post-secondary institutions and our economy. Ontario is providing $6500 less per student in grants and tuition than the Canadian average. #onpoli

This government is choosing to download the brunt of its education cuts onto the most vulnerable kids in Ontario. They need to stop shifting blame and take responsibility for the crisis in schools. Government is all about making choices, and it is time they made the right ones.

Good air quality in schools keeps kids healthier and helps them to learn. Other provinces are monitoring their air quality but Ontario has yet to do so. This is why I presented the petition signed by Ontario residents to pass the Improve Air Quality for Our Children Act. #onpoli

When the education funding provided by the government doesn't keep up with inflation, that is a cut, and it results in resources being taken away from our children. #onted #onpoli

This morning I joined parents and workers calling for an increase in special education funding. Children deserve to be safe in schools. Zak's story is the result of years of underfunding, and that needs to change.

With Elementary Educators watching from the gallery, Lecce responded to questions about growing levels of violence in schools with a reannouncement on cellphone bans from 2019. This Minister never fails to show how out of touch he is with the state of public education. #onted

For the past 6 years this government has undermined and underfunded our education system, causing the teacher shortage we are facing today. What we need now is a plan from this government on how they will fix the damage they have caused. #onted #onpoli

Our education system is in crisis thanks to Doug Ford’s cuts, then the government turns around and blames teachers and education workers for burning out and getting injured on the job. It’s time to show some respect and start funding the system properly. #onted #onpoli
