TDSB's Budget Moves: Will Your School Get Canceled?! 💀

Tea Spilled: TDSB's Budget Drama

Okay, besties, lemme break it down. The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) just yeeted a massive $3.7 billion budget to fix a whole PROBLEM - a $34.4 million deficit. Basically, they overspent and now they're tryna get back on track over the next two years. But here's where it gets messy...

There's a whole feud going on between the TDSB and the province about $$$. TDSB is saying they're not getting enough $$$ for the students, especially for those with special needs. The province is like, "Nah, y'all just bad at managing your bread." It's a whole he-said-she-said situation.

So, how are they planning to fix this major L? Here's the tea:

• No More Free Chromebooks (For Now): They're pausing the drop of new Chromebooks. Ouch.
• Attendance Support Program: Basically, they're cracking down on fake sick days to save money. So maybe don't hit up the gc askin' how to fake a fever.
• Central Department Cuts: They're cutting costs in the main offices, which hopefully won't affect us directly, but who knows?
• Continuing Ed Costs More: If you're tryna level up with extra courses, it's gonna cost you more. 💸

The Ministry of Education is also being super sus and investigating the TDSB's finances. Like, are they hiding something? 👀

And get this – they almost canceled school pools, but everyone got mad, so they backed down... for now. The future of the swim team? Still up in the air. 🏊‍♀️🏊

The budget still needs to get the green light from the Ministry of Education by the end of June. So keep your eyes peeled, fam! This could affect everything.
