MPP Kernaghan: $99.2-M of Disrepair in London North Centre’s Schools

Dear MPP Kernaghan,

Did you know there is $99.2-million of disrepair in the publicly funded schools in your riding of London North Centre?

In 2018 MPP Kernaghan signed the Fix Our Schools Pledge to create a Standard of Good Repair for Ontario schools

We commend you for signing the Fix Our Schools Pledge during the election, and making the personal commitment to ensure all Ontario’s schools are safe, healthy, well-maintained buildings that provide environments conducive to learning and working. However, as you know, the Ford government has not done any work towards fulfilling this commitment.

To that end, we are sharing the following details of disrepair in each school in your riding in the hope that this detailed information would underscore the importance of developing standards of good repair for Ontario schools and also the importance of providing the adequate, stable provincial funding to school boards required for them to meet those new standards and eliminate the $16.8-billion repair backlog (as of June 2021) that plagues Ontario’s schools:

School conditions matter. They impact student learning, attendance, and health, and must be a higher priority for our next provincial government than they have been with the current Ford government.
