Is the WRDSB Cutting Jobs?

Yes — the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) is planning to conduct a restructuring ahead of the upcoming academic school year — affecting nearly 100 elementary school teachers.

The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) is calling on Ontario Premier Doug Ford to “commit to stable, predictable provincial funding that keeps pace with inflation and classroom needs.”
