The focus should always remain on student achievement. Graduation ceremonies must remain free from disruption, distraction, or division.

Millions to outside organizations. “Infinitesimally insignificant.” I disagree. That money belongs in classrooms.

I have been clear: the current school board governance structure is based on an outdated system that needs to be modernized. Our focus is to provide students with better outcomes and certainty, and we are looking to finalize governance changes as soon as possible.

Educators deserve stable, accountable leadership that supports their work and puts student learning first. Our new legislation will establish qualified roles in English-language school boards and represents an important step forward toward greater consistency in our education system.

The latest EQAO results show that more action is needed to support our students and help them succeed. In too many cases, dysfunction and infighting among trustees have distracted boards from this core responsibility. I have taken the time to closely review these results, and we are taking decisive action to get students on track for stronger achievement.

Directors are hired by elected trustees. CEOs would be hired by elected trustees. This is about better governance. Glad we cleared that up.

Families are rightfully frustrated by delays to the new K-12 school in Parry Sound, and after touring Parry Sound High School and the construction site, it’s clear that failures by the Near North District School Board and trustees are to blame. Strong action is underway to get this project back on track.

Showing up matters. Participating matters. When students are engaged, they succeed. Our proposed changes would make attendance and participation worth 10–15% of a final mark.

We’re putting students first and strengthening how our schools are run. Our proposed Student Achievement First Act introduces a clearer, more accountable governance model. This would mean better focus, stronger leadership, and improved outcomes for students.

Better access for parents means better outcomes for students. Our government is requiring school boards to establish Student and Family Support Offices to give families clear answers and timely solutions when it comes to their child’s education.

I should be able to move quickly when it is very clear that a school board has lost its way. The legislation I introduced today, if passed, would allow me to do that.

As Minister of Education, my priority is straightforward: ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed. Supervision was put in place at six boards because trustees were not delivering the outcomes students deserve.
