Our proposals include a funded maximum average class size of 23 in secondary school and replacing the previous Local Priorities Fund with a new, student-centric Supports for Students Fund which allow boards more flexibility to address students\u2019 unique learning needs, including special education, mental health, and STEM education. We are also keeping our commitment to maintaining full-day kindergarten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our government\u2019s priority is and always will be to invest in schools and classrooms, while teachers\u2019 union leaders remain focused on increasing compensation and enhancing their already generous benefits packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The time for a deal is now. I urge the unions to stop this disruptive escalation and return to the table to get a deal that is fair for parents, students, and educators.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-30-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, contact MPP Will Bouma at 519-759-0361 or <a href=\"mailto:will.bouma@pc.ola.org\">will.bouma@pc.ola.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MPP Will Bouma on Continued Strike Action STATEMENT March 5, 2020 TORONTO \u2014 Today, Brantford-Brant MPP Will Bouma, issued the following statement in response to continued strike action by the teachers\u2019 unions: \u201cDuring the negotiation process, the Government tabled proposals with each of the education sector unions, which included substantive moves on lowering class sizes, &#8230; <a title=\"MPP Will Bouma on Continued Strike Action\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/willbouma.ca\/mpp-will-bouma-on-continued-strike-action\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about MPP Will Bouma on Continued Strike Action\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MPP Will Bouma on Continued Strike Action - WillBouma.ca<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/willbouma.ca\/mpp-will-bouma-on-continued-strike-action\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"MPP Will Bouma on Continued Strike Action - WillBouma.ca\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"MPP Will Bouma on Continued Strike Action STATEMENT March 5, 2020 TORONTO \u2014 Today, Brantford-Brant MPP Will Bouma, issued the following statement in response to continued strike action by the teachers\u2019 unions: \u201cDuring the negotiation process, the Government tabled proposals with each of the education sector unions, which included substantive moves on lowering class sizes, ...
