it-takes-a-whole-school-page-001Here are the facts folks:

• Ontario ranks 36th of the 61 Canadian and American jurisdictions (provinces, states, and Washington DC) in terms of per-student funding.

• Approximately 44,000 students are on waiting lists for IPRC meetings, or for special needs services (People for Education)

• Not all mandated services are fully funded

• The clear majority of boards say they spend more on special education than they receive from the Ministry. (P4E)
