@Lynnd Cowardly Lecce exited education and left it others to enact his #Bill98 aka the dismantling of Ontario education.
#Quinte MPP Todd Smith looked at the file and resigned within two months. Now #DougFord's sycophant Lindsey Dunlop (who screwed up universities) will finish the job.
Look to Alberta. Charter schools are next in this province.
Told ya.
Premier #DougFord is priming the pump for CHARTER schools.
Lecce's #Bill98 outlined the devastation planned for Ontario education...
"The time for charter schools in #Ontario is now!
It’s unfair to force parents to keep their kids in failing government-run schools. And it’s unfair to force taxpayers to continue to dump billions of dollars into a system that’s clearly not working"
Conservatives break the system, then privatize. Like healthcare.

@AlisonCreekside Imagine being an educator or healthcare worker in Ontario and voting in #DougFord for a 3rd term 🤦
@Snowshadow Not yet.
Wouldn't be surprised if Todd Smith took a deep dive into Lecce's #bill98 and decided he didn't have the guts to enact it. His wife is an educator.
Precisely & another reason for #DougFord to call an early election. He wants his govt in place to punish school boards in a "take-over" situation by 2026.
It's just the beginning of the dismantling & privatization of our public education system. With #Bill98, Education Minister Lecce now has the power to dictate & overrule local school boards on almost every meaningful issue... including real estate.
👉 The province currently owns over $60-billion in school real estate. #OntED
A distraction from the real issues. As always.
This school year alone:
Education minister Lecce cut $2.7 BILLION across the province
That's $1,357 less funding per student
That's a $35,000 cut per classroom
Coincidentally, there is a "teacher shortage" in #Ontario. A massive recruitment and retention crisis the Ford conservative govt seemingly refuses to address, and students are paying the price. Public education is drowning.
