TCDSB supervisor announces cuts to literacy program, changes to international language instruction and bell times

You want to understand the timing of Ford's $750 classroom spending account for teachers announcement today? THIS is it. It's absolutely, 100% not a coincidence. Ford and his handlers wanted to own the education news cycle.

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:uvibk5lz7tvzjr23li6ng6ai/post/3mgrtykewv423This is terrible. The Ford government is splashing out cash to fund tunnels under the 401 and build shiny new convention centres on Toronto's waterfront and is harming the most vulnerable students to help fund it.
