TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO:
WHEREAS students and education workers deserve stronger, safer schools to learn and work in;
WHEREAS the pressure placed on our education system has contributed to an increase in reports of violence in our schools;

- Take immediate action to address violence in our schools;
- Invest in more mental health resources;
- End violence against education workers and improve workplace violence reporting;
