[[Image:TDSB Education Centre.jpg|290px|right|thumb|The TDSB Education Centre, located at 5050 [[Yonge Street]], is the headquarters of the Toronto District School Board.]]

'''Toronto District School Board''', also known by the acronym '''TDSB''', is the [[Canadian English|English]]-language public school board for [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]], [[Canada]].  The minority public francophone ([[Conseil scolaire Viamonde]]), English Catholic ([[Toronto Catholic District School Board]]), and French Catholic ([[Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud]]) communities of Toronto also have their own publicly funded school boards and schools that operate in the same area, but which are independent of the TDSB. Its headquarters are in [[North York, Toronto|North York]].<ref>"[http://www.tdsb.on.ca/newsroom/images_multi_media/5050_2.gif 5050_2.gif]."

Toronto District School Board. Retrieved on June 8, 2012.</ref>

==History==
The TDSB board was created in 1998 following the merger of the school boards of [[Board of Education for the City of York|York]], [[East York Board of Education|East York]], [[North York Board of Education|North York]], [[Scarborough Board of Education|Scarborough]], Etobicoke, as well as the Toronto and [[Metropolitan Toronto School Board|Metropolitan Toronto]] Public School Boards.

The head office moved from the old Toronto Public Board of Education office at 155 College Street to the 5050 Yonge Street location, adjacent to [[Mel Lastman Square]]. Prior to the 1998 amalgamation of [[Metropolitan Toronto]], the building was occupied by the [[North York Board of Education]].

==Organization==
The TDSB is the largest school board in Canada<ref>{{cite web|author=Connelly, Gerry|year=2006|title=A Message from the Director|format=PDF|work=Director's Annual Report,2004-05|url=http://www.tdsb.on.ca/wwwdocuments/about_us/director/docs/TDSBAnnReport0405Rev.pdf|accessdate=2006-06-08}}</ref> and the 4th largest in North America.{{Citation Needed|date=November 2011}}

There are more than 250,000 students <ref>http://www.tdsb.on.ca/aboutUs/</ref> in nearly 600 schools within the TDSB. Of these schools, 451 offer elementary education, 102 offer secondary level education, and there are five adult day schools. The TDSB has 16 alternative elementary schools as well as 20 alternative secondary schools. TDSB has approximately 31,000 permanent and 8,000 temporary staff, which includes 10,000 elementary school teachers and 5,800 at the secondary level.<ref name="budget-2004-2005">{{cite web|author=Connelly, Gerry|year=2006|title=The 2004-05 Financial Results|format=PDF|work=Director's Annual Report,2004-05|url=http://www.tdsb.on.ca/wwwdocuments/about_us/director/docs/TDSBAnnReport0405Rev.pdf|accessdate=2006-06-08}}</ref>

He was preceded by Gerry Connelly.

The school board's organizational mission is "to enable all students to reach high levels of achievement and to acquire the knowledge, skills, and values they need to become responsible members of a democratic society."<ref>[http://www.tdsb.on.ca/_site/ViewItem.asp?siteid=171&menuid=668&pageid=534 Our Mission Statement<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Parent and Community involvement occurs at all levels of the school board system, from parental involvement at local schools, the involvement of local organizations at the school level and formal advisory committees at the Board level.<ref>[http://www.tdsb.on.ca/_site/ViewItem.asp?siteid=91&menuid=314&pageid=242 Working Together for our Students' Success<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

There has also been an effort to include more student involvement in the Toronto District School Board. The "Super Council" is an organization which acts as a student council for the entire board.<ref>[http://www.tdsb.on.ca/_site/viewItem.asp?siteid=199&menuid=973&pageid=711 TDSB Student SuperCouncil<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> There has also been an attempt to place student input in the TDSB's Equity Department through the second, and last, board-wide student group: Students Working Against Great Injustice.<ref>http://tdsb.on.ca/_site/ViewItem.asp?siteid=10274&menuid=15686&pageid=13877</ref> Both groups have put together various events and have had much success in giving input towards the decisions of the Board.<ref>http://www.tdsb.on.ca/wwwdocuments/programs/Equity_in_Education/docs/Equitable%20Schools%20Newsletter%20Jan-Feb%202009.pdf

==Controversies==
===Financial issues===

In 2002, the [[Government of Ontario]] stripped all power and authority from the school board trustees because they failed to balance the board's budget. [[Paul Christie]] was appointed by the province to serve as supervisor of the Toronto District School Board, with authority for all financial and administrative functions of the Board. This allowed Christie to supersede the authority of elected school trustees. The provincial government argued that the appointment was necessary, as the TDSB had not submitted a budget to the [[Ontario Minister of Education]] as legally required. Representatives of the TDSB claimed that they could not find the necessary operating expenses for the year, given provincial regulations which prohibited deficit spending.  Christie balanced the TDSB's budget through a dramatic spending reduction of $90 million. Under his watch, the TDSB eliminated many secretarial positions, phased out school-community advisors, reduced the number of vice-principals, cut outdoor education and adult education, and re-evaluated the position of social workers in the system. Christie's staff reports were not made public, and some critics argued that there were no adequate checks or balances on his authority.<ref>Trish Worron, "Education democracy an illusion", ''Toronto Star'', 12 July 2003, F6.</ref>

Blackstone Partners carried out a review in 2006.<ref name=2006review>{{cite news|title=TDSB was warned in 2006 about spending problems|url=http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/1221725--tdsb-was-warned-in-2007-about-spending-problems|accessdate=October 6, 2012|newspaper=Toronto Star|date=July 4, 2012|author=Kevin Donovan|author2=Moira Welsh}}</ref> They submitted a 113-page report in January 2007.<ref name=2006review/> Blackstone Partners were "''asked to determine if the facilities division had "effective governance."''"<ref name=2006review/> The report showed "''high costs of repairs, lots of workers and spotty results, and managerial “silos” that made it hard for principals to figure out whom to approach to get a job done.''"<ref name=2006review/> Blackstone Partners gave 43 recommendations in the report.<ref name=2006review/> The school board claims a few have been carried out and others are in the works.<ref name=2006review/> When surveyed about a wide range of topics, the worst result was the school board’s maintenance and construction division.<ref name=2006review/> Eighty percent of principals didn't believe the maintenance and construction division delivered good value for the money<ref name=2006review/> TDSB director Chris Spence "''To use a football analogy, we are trying to move the yardstick.

In 2007, again due to alleged mismanagement by the trustees, the board will try to submit a budget with a deficit of $84 million.

The school board wants $3.6 million from the Toronto Star before it releases a database.<ref name=Ransom>{{cite news|title=Toronto school board will hand over work order data — for $3.6 million|url=http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/1231898--toronto-school-board-will-hand-over-work-order-data-for-3-5-million|accessdate=October 6, 2012|newspaper=Toronto Star|date=July 25, 2012|author=Kevin Donovan|author2=Moira Welsh}}</ref> The database shows "''work orders showing what taxpayers have been charged for maintenance and construction projects at local schools.''"<ref name=Ransom/> In June 2012, the Toronto Star asked for "''an electronic copy showing three years of work at the TDSB.''"<ref name=Ransom/> The Toronto Star stated that "''the request was made under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.''"<ref name=Ransom/>

===Immigration Act charges===
In 2001, Toronto School Board Trustee Sam Basra was convicted of Immigration Act charges and was forced under the Education Act to resign his seat.  He pleaded guilty in August 2001 to selling fake offers of employment to potential immigrants for US$1,500.00 each.  This came to light after being tipped by a former employee, police raided Basra's paralegal firm and found 250 false letters of employment.  In March 2001 Arjan Singh launched a $15 million lawsuit against Basra alleging that while doing paralegal work, Basra forged documents to make him think his rights case was active more than a year after it was closed.  After much infighting among the trustees and inaction from then Chair of the Board [[Donna Cansfield]] to make an appointment to fill the vacant trustee seat left by Basra, a by-election was called for April 2002 costing the board $160,000.00.  Stan Nemiroff defeated former [[Mayor]] of [[Etobicoke]] [[Bruce Sinclair (politician)|Bruce Sinclair]] in the by-election to become the new Ward 1 trustee representing Etobicoke North.<ref>{{cite news|title=Trustee Sam Basra Temporarily Withdraws from Board Duties|url=http://www.tdsb.on.ca/communications/newsrelease/2001/december/dec_14.htm|accessdate=October 6, 2012|newspaper=Toronto District School Board|date=December 14, 2001|location=Toronto, ON}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=McLeod|first=Judi|title=Local Schoolboard: From Corruption to Communism|url=http://www.canadafreepress.com/2000/4vol2.htm|accessdate=October 6, 2012|newspaper=Canada Free Press|date=April 2000}}</ref>

===Ethnic origins and disability-related issues===

In December 2001, a $70 million class-action lawsuit was filed against the Toronto District School Board on behalf of the parents of [[special needs]] students who were sent home during the boards support workers strike in April 2001.  The suit claimed that 27,000 special needs students were discriminated against on the basis of their disabilities because they were sent home during the month long strike while the schools stayed open for their able-bodied counterparts.  The claims were based on the fact that they weren’t permitted to go to school and missed a month of school while everyone else was able to go.  The suit also claimed that the Toronto District School Board should stop treating special needs students as lesser students.  The four-week strike, led by 13,000 support workers ended in early May 2001.<ref>Nicholas Keung and Kristin Rushowy, "Toronto School Board sued for bias", Toronto Star, 8 December 2001, E3.</ref>

On November 14, 2005, the [[Ontario Human Rights Commission]] reached a settlement with the Toronto District School Board following a Commission-initiated complaint against the Board in July 2005.  On July 7, 2005 the On Human Rights Commission initiated a complaint against the Toronto District School Board in the public interest and on behalf of [[racialized]] students and students with disabilities alleging that the application of the Safe Schools Act and the Toronto District School Board’s policies on discipline are having a disproportionate impact on racial minority students and students with disabilities.  The complaint alleges that the TDSB had failed to meet its duty to accommodate racialized students and students with disabilities in the application of discipline, including providing adequate alternative education services for racial minority students and students with disabilities who are suspended or expelled and that the above amounts to a failure on the part of the TDSB to provide equal access to education services and that this constitutes discrimination and contravenes sections 1, 11 and 9 of the [[Ontario Human Rights Code]].  The TDSB accepts and acknowledges a widespread perception that the application of Ontario’s school disciplinary legislation, regulations and policies can have a discriminatory effect on students from racialized communities and students with disabilities and further exacerbate their already disadvantaged position in society.

In 2005, controversy erupted when the TDSB's Board Chair Sheila Ward and Executive Officer of Student and Community Equity, Lloyd McKell, spoke in favour of “Black-focused schools”.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.thestar.com/comment/columnists/article/277427 | work=The Star | location=Toronto | title=Black schools in focus | first=Royson | last=James | date=November 18, 2007 | accessdate=May 25,2010}}</ref> The proposal brought about a media backlash, as many interpreted this as a "Black-only" school. After long and sometimes raucous debate, the proposal for an Afrocentric school was adopted and registration began.<ref>{{cite news|last=Solomon|first=Galit|title=Africentric school starts to gear up|url=http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/africentric-school-starts-to-gear-up-1.340693|accessdate=October 6, 2012|newspaper=CTV|date=November 7, 2008}}</ref> Similar controversy had taken place in the [[North York Board of Education]] in the 1980s when the board attempted to turn [[Georges Vanier Secondary School]] into a black-only school.
