School Board Cuts

Open email to Premier McGuinty



Dear Premier: My name is Anthony Del Grosso. I work in the housing industry - private sector. As you know the economy is not the greatest but I wanted to let you know if you have to raise my taxes to support public education - please do so.

My children are part of the Toronto Catholic School Board and as you know its having some problems. Even though TCDSB has been in an operating surplus these past two years - even under your supervisory team it still - can't seem to balance the budget. But it seems even the Toronto District School Board is having its own difficulty. Both School Boards are being hit specifically with their special educational funds. My guess parents in both School Boards are wondering why the province would give TDSB $12m for pools but let the most neediest students go without. But I'm just a regular guy who doesn't really ask to many questions. As a tax payer I thought I would make a suggestion. Why not say to all of the School Boards right across the province "Hey! Whatever your operating costs are - don't worry about it - we'll pay it in full. And you know that deficit you have because of that faulty funding formula that even WE had to deal with - consider the debt paid in full!". Can you image the message your government would give not just to Ontarians but the world? I just wanted to let you know even though there doesn't seem to be to much media attention on this - parents are watching very closely.
