The Ontario NDP knows that public education is that key to Ontario's future. We also understand that schools are at the heart of our communities. We've seen too many communities torn apart by school closures. Hundreds of schools have been on the chopping block under the Liberals - and nothing is stopping hundreds more from closing.
The Ontario NDP is committing $60 million a year, starting in 2016, to an Open Schools fund. These funds will be made available to help keep schools threatened with closure open, to make essential school renovations, and to repurpose under-utilized space for other usage by the community. Schools will also be able to apply to this fund to increase free and low-fee access for non-profit groups use school space during evenings and weekends. |
