We asked, and the candidates for mayor answered. Well, all but one candidate answered... You deserve to know which candidates support a vision for Toronto that values public education, good schools, and supported students as the building blocks of strong and vibrant communities. Keep these responses in mind when you go to the polls today!

The Minister of Education has 3 Parliamentary Assistants to help him do his job. Teachers with classes of 30 and nonverbal students with Autism who run off school property get no Educational Assistants and are expected to keep everyone safe AND to teach. Let’s start there. #OntEd

✊🏿 WHAT A DAY! ❤️ As the day comes to an end, I’m still thinking about the thousands of educators who showed up today for our students and public education. Smaller class sizes matter. More resources matter. Every child deserves the support they need to thrive. Today was powerful, but it was only the beginning. To every ETT member who showed up, thank you! You reminded us what solidarity looks like and what’s possible when we stand together. The rally may be over, but the fight for public education is just getting started. WE ARE THE MANY. AND WE’RE NOT BACKING DOWN! ✊🏿❤️ #FundOurSchools #ETT #ETFO #SmallerClassSizes #Solidarity

“Underfunding is a choice. Staffing shortages are the result of choices. And this government needs to own those choices.” Yesterday, more than 10,000 education workers, families, students, and community members rallied across Ontario for the future of public education 🙌🏽 As #OSSTF President @marthahradowy told the crowd at Queen’s Park, students, education workers, and families didn’t create the crisis in our schools, but they’re the ones paying the price. Ontario’s students deserve better. #OSSTF #OntEd #OntEdUnited

Since taking office, the Ontario Conservative government has underfunded public education by $6.5 billion. David Mastin, @ETFOpresident, explains the impact on students to thousands at the Toronto rally to defend publicly funded education. #OntEdUnited

Thousands of teachers and support staff across the province rallied on Saturday in a show of support for public education, and as their contract talks remain in limbo. The message is clear, @fordnation: #FundOurSchools!
