Nearly 40 percent of schools in Ontario need some sort of repairs.

The report shows that 37.4 percent of schools in the province are below a good state of repair

That represents over 1,700 schools and the FAO says 32 of those should be replaced.

It adds that the cost of bringing those facilities up to a good state of repair is $6.5 billion.

The FAO estimates the cost of the infrastructure deficit, which includes building new schools is over $31 billion over 10 years.

The Ford government has set aside $18.7 billion over 10 years to do the work.
