Bill 157: Keeping Our Kids Safe at School
The Ontario government is committed to improving publicly funded education and achieving positive outcomes for all students. We believe that safe schools are a prerequisite for student success and academic achievement, and we are committed to providing all students with the supports they need to learn, grow and achieve.
That's why the Ministry of Education has a Safe Schools Strategy that allows our children to learn in a safe and secure environment.
