Stakeholders want to work collaboratively to develop the best solutions for students. #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP @HaltonDSB Trustee Consultation Key Message #3 of 5:
There is a misalignment between the Ministry’s stated goals and the planned changes. #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP @HaltonDSB Trustee Consultation Key Message #4 of 5:
Class size changes are a great concern and will create many negative impacts on students and educators. #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP @HaltonDSB Trustee Consultation Key Message #5 of 5:
More evidence and thought are needed for e-learning. One approach does not fit all. #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP Since
the government was seeking feedback from education partners, parents and the community on
topics through an expensive consultation, it should be committed to changing course
based on the feedback it receives. #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP @HaltonDSB Trustee survey
results reflect the input of members of our community who care deeply about students. Demographics and results: HaltonEducationAction.ca #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP The @HaltonDSB Trustees also ask that any changes to the Ontario public education system adhere to the Ministry’s own stated
goals of Student Achievement, Protecting Front Line Staff, Fiscal Responsibility and Evidence Based Decision
Making. #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP These goals (last tweet) are widely supported by those who participated in this consultation and provide a
valuable grounding and starting point. #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP Given the overwhelming negative response (of nearly 7000 Halton residents) the Trustees of the @HaltonDSB emphatically urge you to pause and reconsider the announced changes. #ontEd #onpoli

@LisaThompsonMPP
-Less than 4% of nearly 7000 Halton residents expressed that they were in favour of mandatory elearning
-95% concerned about increasing elementary class size average
-96% concerned about increasing secondary class size average
Please reconsider these changes
