Letter to the Minister of Education re Pandemic Funding

PIAC sent a letter to the Minister of Education in April 2023 advocating for funding.  Together with the TDSB Mental Health & Well-Being Parent Partnership Committee, PIAC requested that the Government reimburse the TDSB for reserve funds used during the pandemic and for continued funding for Pandemic Recovery.  This aligns with the TDSB Pandemic Survey results indicating that 7 in 10 TDSB parents/guardians/caregivers believe the impacts of the pandemic are still being felt by their children and 86% of parents/guardians/caregivers believe provincial funding during the pandemic for additional staff to support students should continue.  We agree that the pandemic is not over and our students continue to need Mental Health and Well-Being supports to learn and succeed.

Lend your Voice:  PIAC has letter templates for parents/caregivers and for School Councils to use to send emails of direct support for this funding request to the Minister of Education and ministry stakeholders.
