Halton District has 60 e-learning courses that students can CHOOSE to take. Completion rate is 75% . Mandatory requirement will see this rate fall. #onted #ontpoli

Graduation rates will fall under class size and e-learning changes. Very hard to live as a financially independent person in Halton without a high school diploma. The whole community will feel this. Changes will affect generations. Please pause and reconsider.
