Fund Our Schools

It's Time to Speak Up and Speak Out!

 

We love our schools, but there are problems that need urgent attention. It’s time to speak up and speak out! We’re calling on the Ford government to Fund Our Schools!

Tell Your Story. It’s Important!

Damage caused by years of under-funding has been compounded by the COVID pandemic. The classroom situation is deteriorating. Short staffing is taking a toll in all job classifications. Violence in our schools is increasing. Stress levels are soaring. Parents are increasingly concerned. Entire communities are impacted. Many of us are exhausted from just coping.

Together we must ramp up our efforts to pressure the Provincial government to take effective action to address the problems in our schools. We have done it before, we can do it again!

Experience has taught us that, in order to win, we must put people power behind our policy papers and lobbying. The place to start is on the ground – in our schools. Raising awareness of the situation in our schools is the priority for getting the campaign underway!

  1. STEP ONE is gathering stories from people working in our schools about the problems they are experiencing.

  2. NEXT will be outreach to parents and community leaders

Make sure to join the campaign to Fund Our Schools and Tell Your Story!
