Ford has no mandate<\/strong> for this, no plan<\/strong>, and has held no public consultation<\/strong>. He\u2019s playing fast and loose with the education of 2 million students today and millions more in the future. Trustees are Ontario\u2019s oldest form of democracy. They connect parents, students, and communities to decision-making in education and push back when provincial policies risk harming student achievement and well-being<\/strong>. Call Premier Ford today and tell him to keep trustees because our kids can\u2019t afford to lose their voice.<\/p>\n Here are some suggested messages to leave for Doug Ford at his office number:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=\u201d4.27.2\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d] Messages for Premier Ford<\/h1>\n
