Ontario Taking over 4 School Boards, Including TDSB, Following Spending Probes

  • On Friday, Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra announced that the province will appoint supervisors to oversee four school boards, among them the two major Toronto boards as well as the Ottawa-Carleton and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Boards.
  • This intervention follows financial investigations revealing ongoing mismanagement, growing deficits, depleted reserves, and failed responsibilities toward parents and students.
  • The Toronto District School Board rejected 46% of proposed cost savings and depended on unsustainable asset sales, while other boards face financial default risks by 2025; supervisors will oversee these boards to restore focus and trust.
  • Calandra warned that if the board fails to meet their requests and implement the required recommendations, he will pursue all necessary measures to hold them accountable and prioritize students' interests.
  • This takeover suggests increased provincial oversight and potential future legislative powers to sideline trustees beyond financial issues, aiming to ensure responsible spending and student benefit.
