Ontario to give elementary teachers $750 a year for classroom supplies | CBC News
"Our government is making record investments so that our students have the support and supplies they need to succeed and grow in school. The new fund will give teachers across the province access to the resources they need, without forcing them to cover the costs themselves or wait to be reimbursed."
"Beginning in September 2026, elementary school homeroom teachers will be able to use the funds to order supplies through a provincial website, with items delivered directly to their schools. The online platform will offer a selection of commonly used classroom items organized by grade level, including writing supplies, notebooks, calculators, chalk, arts and crafts materials, tissues and paper towels, along with posters and other classroom decor."
Ontario's government announced a new Classroom Supplies Fund providing $750 purchasing cards to elementary school homeroom teachers beginning September 2026. Teachers will access an online provincial platform to order commonly used classroom items such as writing supplies, notebooks, calculators, arts and crafts materials, tissues, paper towels, and classroom decor, with direct delivery to schools. The initiative aims to prevent teachers from purchasing supplies with personal funds and eliminate reimbursement delays. Premier Doug Ford emphasized the program ensures consistent resource access across Ontario classrooms while supporting student success without burdening educators financially.
