"The education minister has been hinting at changes to the system for quite some time, with the province putting multiple boards under supervision in recent months."
"Last fall, a new Ontario law gave the education minister more latitude to take over school boards, arriving after high-profile cases of misspending."
"Critics have decried the minister's actions as politically driven, saying most boards are struggling financially due to chronic provincial underfunding."
Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra is scheduled to announce changes to the province's school systems. Recent months have seen multiple school boards placed under supervision due to financial mismanagement. A new law has granted the minister increased authority to intervene in school boards following incidents of excessive spending. Critics argue that these actions are politically motivated, pointing out that many boards face financial difficulties due to ongoing provincial underfunding.
