Violence is on the rise at schools across Ontario and the country \u2014 and now the union representing affected teachers is aiming to ring the alarm bell with the Ministry of Education<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, in an interview with CTV News Windsor, Mario Spagnuolo, president of the Greater Essex County Teacher Local for the Elementary Teachers\u2019 Federation of Ontario (ETFO), pointed to a need for greater support staff to help ensure a safe classroom environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe number one concern is, we don\u2019t have the support staff that we need, they\u2019re not being replaced when they\u2019re absent and we have a fear for student safety and for our own safety as workers; that\u2019s the message that we\u2019re hearing [at schools],\u201d said Spagnuolo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Spagnuolo, the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) is seeing 60 to 80 support staff absent each day across the board and not replaced. The GECDSB did not agree to an interview request from CTV News<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think if you talk to parents and staff as well you would hear that, \u2018We can do better as a province, we just need a government that\u2019s going to support us,\u2019\u201d said Spagnuolo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ETFO MEMBER SURVEY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ETFO Member Survey was released in May and outlines what it describes as an \u201calarming\u201d number of respondents reporting personal experience with violence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\u00a0the survey(opens in a new tab)<\/a>, 77 per cent of ETFO members have personally experienced or witnessed violence against staff member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not surprised because it reflects what we\u2019re hearing at the union office every day and our schools,\u201d said Spagnuolo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ETFO represents about 83,000 members including public elementary teachers, educational support workers and professional support personnel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey indicates a dire situation for special education staff, with 86 per cent reporting personal experience with violence or reporting having witnessed violence against another staff member<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to severity of the violence, the survey shows 66 per cent of respondents believe it has increased and 42 per cent say they\u2019ve suffered physical injury, illness or psychological injury or illness as a result of workplace violence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow it\u2019s become such a prevalent issue,\u201d said Spagnuolo. \u201cWe don\u2019t have the support staff that we need. The needs of the students has increased, I would say in the last 10 years, steadily we\u2019ve seen student needs increase and the support staff hasn\u2019t increased with that to the degree that\u2019s needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ONTARIO\u2019S PLAN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In April, the Ontario government\u00a0announced funding(opens in a new tab)<\/a>\u00a0meant to target the rising trend of violence in schools<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $24-million plan included $2.8 million to expand the Focus on Youth program, which aims to provide high quality programming for youth and employment opportunities for high school students. There\u2019s also $1.5 million earmarked for anti-hate initiatives and $1 million to help schools partner with community groups to combat racism and dismantle systemic barriers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Ministry of Education spokesperson points to new hires as a key plank of its plan to reduce violence in schools<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo enhance classroom learning, we have hired 7,500 net new staff, including 3,500 educational assistants,\u201d said Isha Chaudhuri, a spokesperson for the ministry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ministry also points to a nearly $700 million increase in funding for the 2023-24 school year, including the additional $24 million to reduce violence and promote safety. However, Spagnuolo argues per student funding, which forms the base of funding for school boards, doesn\u2019t keep up with inflation and trustees will struggle to balance budgets as a result<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ontario Public School Boards\u2019 Association says the\u00a0education budget increase(opens in a new tab)<\/a>\u00a0is $66 on a per pupil basis equating to a 0.5 per cent increase<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaudhuri points to increased funding to support mental health resources as a key measure to leverage funds to help students and promote a safer school environment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo better support Ontario students with mental health resources, our government is investing $114 million, which represents a 555 per cent increase from 2018 under the previous Liberal government,\u201d said Chaudhuri. \u201cWe also invested in continuous mental health supports through the summer months, as well as introduced new mental health modules developed with School Mental Health Ontario along with the support of SickKids that provide a tool-kit of practical knowledge to manage stress and keep kids safe and focused in school.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MINISTRY STATEMENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To support student mental health and well-being in 2023-24, Ontario is investing about $114 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of this funding ($87.7 million) is secured in the Grants for Student Needs (GSN), which provides stable funding to support long term planning, staff retention and program continuity for students and include<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$50.4 million to help school boards meet local needs and priorities related to mental health that include:<\/strong>\u00a0$36.7 million for the Supporting Student Mental Health Allocation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0$10.5 million for the Student Mental Well-Being Allocation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0$3.2 million for the Well\u2010Being and Positive School Climates Allocation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0$26.5 million for the Mental Health Workers in Secondary Schools (regulated mental health professionals) that fund about 180 mental health workers in secondary schools<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0$10.8 million for Mental Health Leaders (one per each school board). Mental Health Leaders are school board staff who are senior mental health professionals working closely with School Mental Health Ontario (SMH-ON) to provide leadership support in their school board for student mental health<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This $114M in funding also includes Priorities and Partnership Fund (PPF) Funding ($26.25M):<\/strong>\u00a0$12 million for the Summer Mental Health Supports to ensure the continuity of mental health services for students over the summer months<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0$3.75 million towards mental health supports for racialized and marginalized students<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0$2 million to increase awareness for parents and guardians on student mental health<\/p>\n\n\n\n
