Buck-Passing Ring: School Boards

buck-passing ring: The province is quick to point out that closing schools falls under the jurisdiction of school boards, according to Hamilton Spectator. True, but that doesn't factor in the extent to which provincial education funding guidelines are inflexible when it comes to school capacity. A new report by the education advocacy group, People for Education, points out Ontario school boards are recommending closure of 121 schools over the next three years, with rural communities hit hardest. Too many empty seats in an underused school translates into less money for school boards to build new schools where they are needed. The debate around school closures is always contentious. Therefore the province's buck-passing doesn't ring entirely true. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
