Sudbury MPP Jamie West is calling on the province to increase education spending.
Speaking at a news conference Wednesday morning, West said his office receives calls regularly from parents who are concerned with the state of the public school system.
“Our kids need … more funding,” he said.
“We want to ensure that people know it’s not because of the educators, it’s not the principals, it’s not the school boards. It’s a result of a lack of provincial funding from the Conservative government.”
