Today, the OHRC released the #DreamsDelayed Action Plan. It is the culmination of extensive consultation with communities and institutions and is an important milestone in our efforts to address anti-Black racism in Ontario’s publicly funded #education system.

It's not just school boards noting these inflationary pressures – staff federations, @PeopleforEd, and the @CCPA_Ont have all noted that the past few years of funding increases do not cover costs, leading to cuts at the school board level.
