Part 2 - “Understanding Ontario's School Funding Crisis"

Want to understand why there has been a $6.3 billion shortfall in education funding since 2018?  Please watch this video to understand how school boards are funded, and how cuts to schools and students have already been made because of provincial legislation which requires each and every school board in Ontario to submit a balanced budget by June 30th.
