What is the purpose of publishing COVID case numbers for publicly funded schools & private childcare centres but not private schools? Private schools are embedded in our neighbourhoods. The community has the right to know. #flyingundertheradar #onted

I am aware of a private school in Halton that has had 3 cases. It has not been posted regionally or provincially. There may be more, but we do not know. #onted

The silence of private school stats conveys a false impression that publicly funded schools get the virus and private schools don't; The impression that public systems are riddled with disease & private schools are above it. #onted

The private schools have been taking full advantage of this lack of transparency and have been marketing at top-speed with full-page advertorials in expensive province-wide papers and targeted social media ads. #onted

Education partners (Minister, Ministry and Boards) all have a role to play in maintaining confidence in the province's public education systems - Ontario Education Act

Confidence is demonstrated through continued enrolment

Minister @Sflecce If you are committed to transparency, it should be FULL transparency on COVID cases for both public & private schools. Our communities and our neighbourhoods deserve it. #onted

Someone just pointed out to me that Appleby College just announced another case yesterday - now they are up to four cases. I applaud their transparency with the community. Are there other schools? We don't know. #onted
