Dear MPP Karahalios,
Did you know there is $93-million of disrepair in the publicly funded schools in your riding of Cambridge?
We know that you did not sign the Fix Our Schools Pledge during the 2018 election. However, as we head into another provincial election in June 2022, we trust that safe, healthy, well-maintained school buildings will be a priority for all parties.
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. 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.
