If it was my last act as Trustee, standing with students in today’s Pride Parade was a great way to conclude! Today means a great deal to the students on the TDSB float, the joy of celebrating who they are was incredible to watch and support!
🏳️🌈 The @PrideToronto Parade is underway and we’re excited to be back! #PrideTDSB
Maybe now a serious journalist will ask @PaulCalandra why the Ministry of Education doesn’t fully fund the statutory payments of education employees. This underfunding alone explains the fiscal challenges facing all Ontario school boards.
heck of an end to the school year
