CUPE representatives aren’t pleased with the funding headed to the school boards for next year.
In a provided statement, Educational Assistant and President of CUPE’s Ontario School Boards Council of Unions Joe Tigani says the province isn’t doing enough.
Tigani says they’re ignoring the needs of students.
Per-pupil funding is increasing 1.86% next year, below the inflation projection of 2.6%, which Tigani says shortchanges students.
