    Yes... it is our role as trustees in the Education Act to promote student achievement and well-being... to promote a positive school climate... to promote the prevention of bullying and deliver effective and appropriate educational programs.. @tdsb @RobinPilkey @malloy_john

    Our teachers unions have been collaborating with us... do not blame teachers... this was a provincial decision. Period.

    The @fordnation govt. has rejected Toronto District School Board’s high school reduced-class-sized plan, partly blaming teachers’ unions. Now the board has to scramble to have plans for kids K-Gr. 12, writes @krushowy

    For those e-mailing me using Nazi analogies re the @tdsb request that the province consider mandatory vaccines, STOP. Just stop. This is beyond offensive. #NeverAgain #HolocaustRemembrance #onted

    Completely inappropriate using the word “indoctrinate”. A new low… For some children school is the safest place in their lives. I, for one, will continue to support all students as per our @tdsb guidelines tdsb.on.ca/Portals/0/docs…

    On stage at Ford Fest in Kitchener, talking about education, Premier Doug Ford emphasizes the importance of parents being informed when "when their children make a decision" "It's not up to the teachers, it's not up to the school boards to indoctrinate our kids." #onpoli

    This is not a cut from 4 to 2 - this is an increase of 2 mandatory on-line courses to graduate. Just like class size was not reduced from 1:28 to 1:25 - it is being increased to 1:25 from 1:22.5 Critically important for students to base on facts... on our present reality #onted

    A small victory… staff confirm positive COVID-19 case notification letters to impacted @tdsb classrooms will continue until the end of March and will be reassessed at that time… fro my perspective this is important for families and needs to continue…

    He said “... parents expect their child’s educators to strive toward as normal a learning environment as possible during this period” There is nothing normal about this... it is emergency remote learning during a pandemic #onted
