The Financial Accountability Office reports that addressing Ontario's educational infrastructure needs would require $31.4 billion over the next decade, creating a shortfall against government plans.
Education Minister Jill Dunlop claims the province has doubled funding for school construction and reduced timelines, yet the FAO still identifies a significant funding gap.
With many Ontario schools running below capacity and a moratorium on closures, school boards are feeling financial strain and urging the government to reconsider its policies.
The FAO warns that without additional investments, the equivalent of 227 new schools will be necessary to accommodate expected enrollment growth in the coming years.
