面對教育削減誣陷，福特發微信霸氣回應！啟動教育部門更新特殊行動組

今日，多倫多公立教育部門（TDSB）對我們省政府進行了一係列的毀謗。他們宣稱由於省教育撥款的缺短，他們下一學年將會面臨高達$6700萬的資金缺短，並且教育服務將會被強製減削來平衡財政 --- 這都是一片謊言。

我們政府正在帶給您一個把學生成績放在重心的教育係統來維護對於省民的利益。

我對於我們所做的教育改革感到非常驕傲。從第一日，當我們把精力全部集中在提高學生的成績的時候，反對黨就和其它黨派站在一起製造恐慌、散播錯誤信息。

今年，多倫多公立教育部門（TDSB）將收到高達至$30億的省政府撥款，並且在節約財務開銷、增加效率的大背景下，我們隻要求了他們節省$2100萬的開支，這僅僅是他們年度開支的1%。

由於TDSB簽署的不良地區合約及內部財政管理不善所造成的資金不足並不應該被學生們承擔。

根據往日，我們經常目睹TDSB的資源浪費，這包括讓納稅人交付超達$3000來安裝一個簡單的電源插座，並且花費將近$2500加元來安裝一個隻價值$127加元的白板。讓納稅人為他們所造成的不良債務買單是完全不合理的。

據TDSB指控，大多數的撥款減削在於“當地重點基金”（Local Priorities Fund）--- 目前這個資金還沒有被削減，而且是下一輪工會集體談判的事項，並且在與政府達成協議之前將會保持如此。TDSB所指控的資金削減是在完全誤導真實情況。

為了幫助安省公立教育部門提高運轉效率，我們宣布建立教育部門更新行動組（Board Modernization Task Force）。這個新行動組將會幫助我們在各個教育部門內部達到提高運轉效率，並且確保每花費的一分錢都會有助於提高教室內的學習環境。

Today, the Toronto District School Board falsely reported that, due to changes in provincial funding, that they would be facing a $67M shortfall for the next school year and that they would be forced to modify and reduce services in order to rectify that deficit. This is not true.

Our government is protecting what matters most by delivering an education system that puts student achievement at the centre of everything we do.

I am extremely proud of the changes we are making to education. Since day one, the Opposition and other third-parties have been fear-mongering and spreading misinformation while we are consistently making changes to bring student achievement back to the focus of all we do.

This year, the TDSB will receive nearly $3 billion and we have asked them to find efficiencies of $21M. We have full confidence that the Toronto District School Board will be able to work to identify administrative waste and find less than 1% of their budget in savings.

Any other savings that the TDSB needs to find as a result of local agreements or poor management from the TDSB is the responsibility of the TDSB – students should not have to suffer as a result of poor fiscal management.

From time and time again, we have seen wasteful spending by the TDSB, examples include billing taxpayers over $3000 for the simple installation of an outlet, and almost $2500 to install a whiteboard worth only $127. It is unacceptable that TDSB is putting taxpayers on the hook for their own mismanagement.

The majority of the difference in funding cited by the TDSB is a result of the Local Priorities Fund – this has not been cut. This is a matter for the next round of collective bargaining and will be continuing until negotiated. To portray this as a cut is simply inaccurate and misleading.

To assist school boards, we have also announced a Board Modernization Task Force. This initiative will help us determine how we can find efficiencies within school boards to ensure every dollar spent directly improves learning in the classroom.
