To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
WHEREAS the Ford government has taken $6.4 billion out of our schools since 2018 through repeated funding cuts;
WHEREAS the Minister of Education imposed a handpicked supervisor with no experience in education and a mandate to make cuts to the Ottawa Carleton District School Board;
WHEREAS this unelected, unaccountable supervisor Bob Plamondon is firing education workers, teachers, and principals, including 49 trades, maintenance and custodial staff, 48 clerical, office, and technical workers, 83 teachers, and 2 principals;
WHEREAS these cuts will leave our children with fewer essentials supports, make our schools less safe and clean, add to the school repair backlog, and make it harder for the community to safely use our schools;
THEREFORE we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to:
Direct the Minister of Education to stop the cuts, fire his supervisor, and properly fund education in
Ontario.
