ONTARIO – Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government is launching the Classroom Supplies Fund to provide elementary school homeroom teachers with direct access to $750 in funding each school year for classroom supplies.
In a news release, the province says the new fund will ensure teachers have the materials they need in their classrooms without paying up front.
“The new $750 Classroom Supplies Card will give teachers across the province access to the resources they need, without forcing them to cover the costs themselves or wait to be reimbursed. It’s just one of the ways we are supporting our students and teachers while ensuring Ontario’s education system is focused on student success,” said Premier Doug Ford.
The province says beginning in September 2026, homeroom teachers will have access to $750 each school year through a new provincial website, allowing them to order classroom supplies directly, with materials delivered to their schools.
Each teacher will receive a Classroom Supplies Card directing them to the website, with instructions on how to access the site.
