The Toronto District School Board is consulting staff, parents, and community members because it must update its policies to adhere to the new guidelines from the Ministry of Education. Two policies may be of interest to parents.
- The Pupil Accommodation Review policy deals with the review of groups of schools with low enrolment that can potentially lead to school closures.
- The Community Planning and Partnerships policy concerns potential partnerships with external organizations in operating schools that have unused space.
Both policies affect the use of schools and therefore affect students.
Feedback can be provided in different ways:
- Sending written feedback to accommodationreviews@tdsb.on.ca by January 29, 2016
- Attending one of three public meetings listed below.
