Families, educators, and community members of Waterloo Region demand immediate action to fix our crumbling schools and build new ones for our growing student population.

The facts:

• Over 50 public schools in Waterloo Region are below a state of good repair, with a $178 million local repair backlog.

• The WRDSB, WCDSB, and local French-language boards all face overcrowding and urgent facility needs.

• Thousands of new student spaces are needed to keep up with enrolment growth.

• Investing in school infrastructure creates local jobs in trades and construction, boosting our economy.

We call on the Ontario government to:

1. Increase 10-year school capital funding to at least $31.4 billion.

2. Repair and replace schools in urgent need, across all boards.

3. Build new schools to prevent overcrowding.

Safe schools. Modern classrooms. Local jobs. Our children and communities can’t wait.
