Read an overview of Ontario’s Bill 101 from the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) Alliance and learn how to provide your own feedback: #onpoli #ontario #education www.aodaalliance.org/whats-new/si...

AODA Alliance’s Preliminary Reflections on Bill 101

Despite its name, this bill has nothing to do with student achievement.
This bill does nothing for vulnerable students with disabilities.

This bill seriously reduces assistance to parents of students having unresolved problems with school officials.

The Premier mandated kids sit in front of a TV on consecutive school days. There are ~2.1M students in K-12 in Ontario. Assuming an average class size of 24, average teacher salary of $87K, & 2h/game that adds up to at ~ $8M to $9M in lost instructional time for Ontario students per game. #onpoli

Classroom reorganization is a process across Ontario schools that we need to stop normalizing. This highly disruptive practice is due to #Ontario underfunding K-12 education. Most reorgs occur because the system lacks the funds to allow stability for individual schools and children. #onpoli

The health of a democratic nation can be measured by how it runs public schools: - model civic engagement and shared responsibility? or - obedience and central control? Local voice in public education is critical to student success and by extension the economic success of Ontario #onpoli #cdnpoli

In 2024/25 the number of #Ontario school boards in deficit rose to 42 of 72, up from 31. This is entirely the fault of @ongov.bsky.social. In 2019 the Ford government cut over $1B from K-12 education. School boards weathered cuts using reserves, which were wiped out by pandemic. #onpoli #education

The @ongov and Min of #Education won’t listen to school boards but how long can they ignore the myriad of organization & media reports on impacts of chronic underfunding? Thank-you for work highlighting crises in #Ontario education and the very real struggles faced by students, families, and staff.

Let’s be frank, the @ongov position that #Ontario school boards “overspend” on #education is offensive. The provincial government refuses to fund annual CPP & EI increases or fully fund education worker wages at Boards whose wage grids pre-date central collective bargaining. #onpoli

Let’s be frank, the @ongov position that #Ontario school boards “overspend” on education is offensive. 71 of 72 school boards spend >$850 million more on special #education than provided by the province. Other underfunded supports include safety, mental health, technology. #onpoli

Truth - Ontario school boards are underfunded for special education, safety, and mental health

ArtsNScience @borgalerp.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

The #Ontario Minister of education has been blaming Ontario school boards for “overspending” when in reality education funding has been declining against inflation since 2019. 42 of 72 school boards are facing deficits, up from 31 last year. #onpoli #education

Truth - Ontario education spending has not kept up with inflation

Truth - Ontario education spending has decreased as percentage of provincial budget

71 of 72 Ontario school boards are underfunded for special education by $850 million
