Ford Conservative Candidate for Scarborough Centre slammed Doug Ford’s $67.3M Cuts to Education
TORONTO — Current Ford Conservative candidate for Scarborough Centre and former TDSB Trustee David Smith slammed Doug Ford’s cuts to education, warning they would leave “a lasting harm” in his 2019 community newsletter:
Ford continued his damaging cuts to education including a secret $1.3 billion cut revealed in his last budget. Only the Ontario Liberals can stop Doug Ford and his classroom cuts with our plan that includes:
- Investing an additional $10 billion to build and repair more schools
- Capping class sizes at 20 students for all grades
- Hiring 10,000 more teachers
- Reinstating Grade 13 as an optional fifth year of high school
- Hiring 1,000 more mental health workers for students and staff
- Ending mandatory requirements of 2 online credits to graduate
Smith was right when he said that Ford has “turned a blind eye to the needs of students and the voices of their parents\guardians”.
