Special Education Funding Crisis: Ford Government Cuts Staffing Fund While Auditor Finds $397M Shortfall
Ontario's Auditor General found that 46 of 72 school boards collectively overspent their special education funding by $397.9 million in 2023–24, while the Ford government's response was to increase funding by just 0.1% and simultaneously cut the Classroom Staffing Fund by $56.2 million — leaving some of Ontario's most vulnerable students to be sent home with no documentation when schools can't accommodate them.
