When 2020 dawned, never did Fix Our Schools think that ventilation in schools would be one of the most popular topics in education, and yet, here we are heading towards 2021 and that is exactly what happened. The COVID-19 pandemic has confirmed what Fix Our Schools has been advocating for since 2014 – publicly funded schools must be safe, healthy, well-maintained buildings that provide environments conducive to learning and working. Never before have so many people agreed that school buildings are critical infrastructure that must be funded accordingly.
Here we present to you our year in review: Fix Our Schools In the News
New from me: Other Ontario school boards can collect millions from developers to help build and repair crowded schools — but not the TDSB. That needs to change, a report from @broadbent, @progresstoronto & @Fix_Our_Schools says https://t.co/Dqa7vBvbcb

Toronto's school board appeals to donors for HEPA filters. @Fix_Our_Schools' Krista Wylie: "reliance on donations indicates a lack of funding & support by provincial gov't… every classroom should have air an purifier in it as we head into flu season."https://t.co/VINBhryiPM
