Catholic teachers want nothing more than to do the job they love in a productive and safe learning environment.

Key Points: 
  • Catholic teachers want nothing more than to do the job they love in a productive and safe learning environment.
  • This budget continues the Ford government’s plan to underfund core education spending by $6 billion over the next five years, as projected by the Financial Accountability Office of Ontario (FAO).

  • Catholic teachers continue to hold out hope that, at some point, this government will place as much emphasis on student development as they do on building developments.
