The AG also noted that the Ministry of Education does not always follow its own criteria in deciding which new schools will get funding and does not document the reason why, something the residents of Wasaga Beach already knew. 7/11

With regard to the TDSB specifically, the Board is dealing with a repair backlog of $4.1 billion. 9% of these repairs are urgent – building systems that are important to the operation of the building like boilers or fire alarms are in critical condition. 8/11

55% of these repairs are deemed high but are still issues that are critical, they just aren’t “essential to operating the building” – brick work, ceilings, exterior windows. Maybe the building can keep operating, but I still don’t want a ceiling to fall on my kid’s head. 9/11

The TDSB needs $2.8 billion just to deal with these urgent and high priority repairs, but they only get $305 million from the province annually for repairs AND new school builds. 10/11

This is why we have a growing school repair backlog, and if the government insists on keeping its fingers in its ears and pretending not to see anything, the problem will only keep growing. It’s time for them to start behaving like adults and start properly funding safe and healthy schools. 11/11
