Watch for an exciting announcement involving private partners.
I mean NGL, the examples they cite are pretty bad.
In April, Calandra put the Thames Valley District School Board under supervision following a review of a $40,000-staff retreat to Toronto that included a stay at the hotel connected to the Rogers Centre, where the Blue Jays play.
This is not just about boards that are running deficits, Calandra said, pointing to the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board, which was the first board he put under supervision.
That came after an investigation found four school trustees racked up a $190,000 bill on a trip to Italy to buy art for new schools.
IF those are the only cases where they’re stepping in, I’m okay with it. We should have oversight to make sure our tax dollars aren’t being wasted on fancy trips.
That can be true at the same time as its true that the govt needs to be properly funding education. Article states $1,500/student less funding now compared to 2018
Yes. I’m sure there are a few schoolboards with track records of mismanagement (no mismanagement in the Ford government mind you /s). However, Ford’s government has directly contributed to these problems (through underfunding) that they are now using as justification to overstep their jurisdiction. Fuck Doug Ford
sus
Are all of the largest school boards incompetent, or is something systemic happening, like say underfunding
