Ontario ’s fiscal watchdog says it would cost $31.4 billion over 10 years to clear a backlog of school repair needs.

Most schools are under full capacity, with hundreds of schools operating with fewer than 60 per cent of the maximum number of students.

Education Minister Jill Dunlop says the province has doubled the funding to build and expand schools.
