➡️abandon reckless cuts
➡️do what our students desperately need – make real investments in #OntEd. #CatholicTeachers

BREAKING: Not once does the Ford Conservative government’s proposed budget mention the word ‘teacher’ in the body of its "plan" to build a "better Ontario," with the only passing references relegated to the footnotes.😡

A government that ignores teachers is not seriously committed to students, their future, and what they need to succeed. #CatholicTeachers #onted

✊ Stronger Together for Ontario Students and Schools ✊

#CatholicTeachers stand together with ETFO and OSSTF, as we demand more than just temporary fixes to the teacher recruitment and retention crisis. The Ford Conservative government must enact real, lasting solutions! Let's mobilize for the change students, families, and teachers deserve.

"Our goal – as ALWAYS – is to reach the best possible deal to better support all #OntEd students & teachers, & to address key issues facing publicly funded schools across Ontario."

From #OECTA President René Jansen in de Wal:

“After a long and difficult round of negotiations, we sign an agreement with #OCSTA Director Patrick Daly & the Ontario government.

Despite the challenging process, we delivered for #CatholicTeachers & #onted students – proof that free & fair collective bargaining works.”
