安大略省三分之二的学校董事会在2025-26年面临赤字,原因是尽管省教育支出创历史新高,但成本不断上升,资金不足。 Two-thirds of Ontario’s school boards face deficits in 2025-26 due to rising costs and underfunding, despite record provincial education spending.

近三分之二的安大略学校委员会预计2025-26年会出现赤字或收支平衡的预算,其驱动因素是特殊教育费用上升、人员配备方面的挑战以及养恤金和福利任务资金不足。 Nearly two-thirds of Ontario’s school boards anticipate deficits or break-even budgets for 2025-26, driven by rising special education costs, staffing challenges, and underfunded pension and benefit mandates. 尽管省教育资金达到创纪录的303亿美元,但许多董事会仍面临财政紧张,其中一些由于长期残疾费用而出现严重赤字。 Despite a record $30.3 billion in provincial education funding, many boards face financial strain, with some in deep deficit due to long-term disability costs. 教育部长Paul Calandra批评业绩不佳的董事会, 却遭到专家的回击, Education Minister Paul Calandra criticizes underperforming boards but faces pushback from experts who say systemic issues like the per-pupil funding model and lost local tax powers are to blame. 民意调查显示,多数安大略人反对取消经选举产生的学校董事会董事,57%的人认为资金不足是核心问题,并重视地方问责制。 A poll shows most Ontarians oppose eliminating elected school board trustees, with 57% citing underfunding as the core problem and valuing local accountability. 在Calandra推动治理改革的同时, 批评者认为重点仍应放在充足的资金和民主监督上。 While Calandra pushes for governance reform, critics argue the focus should remain on adequate funding and democratic oversight.
