OECTA hired them years ago and the survey was so poorly designed it.was almost impossible to complete. Unanswerable questions, grammar and spelling errors showed little effort. I didn't complete it and they phoned to ask why. Bad way to have your union dues misused and your decisions questioned.

Jesus: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

Public Catholic Education Leaders in Ontario like Cardinal Leo & OECTA: “It’s our right as Catholics in Ontario to have public & fully publicly-funded separate school boards. Too bad for all other religions in Ontario.”

Jesus: 😢
