70 full-time positions cut after Windsor’s public school board passes latest budget | CBC News
I briefly saw an article about 400 healthcare workers being laid off in Ontario as well. Cuts to education and healthcare seem to be Conservative trademarks.
On Tuesday, the GECDSB unanimously approved a $462.9 million operating budget, which includes a deficit of about $930,000.
The budget will result in the loss of 70 full-time positions, according to the board. For trustee Gale Hatfield, that was the most worrying part of approving the latest budget.
“Anytime you pass a budget where there is a loss of jobs involved, it’s very hard because whatever job it is, … it affects kids in the classroom,” said Hatfield, adding she supported it because the board’s financial staff worked hard to balance the budget.
