TDSB strongly urges parents to participate in any one of three ways in the largest consultation process in the history of the Board. The TDSB wants your input on the future of the Board and its programs by considering your answers to nine questions organized in the following four themes:

Theme 1: Teaching and Learning for Student Success
Theme 2: Inclusive Schools, Students, Parents and Communities
Theme 3: Effective Use of Board Resources (Human, Financial and Physical)
Theme 4: Meeting Students’ Needs in Schools of the Future

How can you get involved?

• Attend any of the in-person meetings.

This is an opportunity to provide feedback to the TDSB which will be used to direct future programming, capital priorities and budget decisions.
