TORONTO — Ontario is issuing a fourth round of direct payments to parents, encouraging them to use the $200 on offer for help with students' learning recovery, but acknowledging it might just be an extra bit of cash for families as the cost of living rises.At an announcement Thursday, Education Minister Stephen Lecce acknowledged it won't come with strings attached, and is to help parents offset rising financial pressures.
Parents can apply for the "catch up" payments starting Thursday. They can receive up to $200 per school-aged child up to the age of 18 or $250 for school-aged kids up to age 21 with special education needs. “What students who are struggling need right now is supports inside schools — smaller classes, more educational assistants, more mental health supports," she said in a statement.
"Minister Lecce's 'catch up' payments are a petty scheme designed to pit parents against education workers," he said in a statement. CUPE will be in a legal strike position on Nov. 3 and three days of talks this week with a mediator were called off because the two sides were too far apart.
