oversee education ?

I changed the following:

The Ottawa Carleton District School Board is a group of 14 trustees elected to oversee education in the city of Ottawa, Ontario.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a common problem in school district articles in Canada, in over-generalizing the power of the main public district. There are other school districts (with overlapping territory), and there is also more to education than K-12 (which is all a school district has authority over, though it may opt to do more). The word "oversee" implies this district/board is somehow above others, which it is not. There's lots of Education in Ottawa this district does not "oversee". --Rob 08:03, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Syntax-related clarification.

There is a statement that could use some clarification:

"... The district is also responsible for publicly funded K-12 schools in its territory excluding those operated by Francophone (i.e. French Canadian), or Catholic districts (which are also publicly funded)."

Here are the questions I have regarding this statement:

Is the "district" responsible, or is the "school board" responsible for publicly-funded K-12 schools?
Also, when it says "...Francophone..., or Catholic districts (which are also publicly funded)...", does that mean that both Francophone and Catholic districts are publicly-funded, OR is the statement suggesting that ONLY schools in Catholic districts are publicly-funded?
Either way, who is responsible (funding?) these other schools if the OCDSB is not responsible for these schools?

For now, I shall tag this article for cleanup until this issue is resolved. Folajimi 17:51, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:OCDSBlogo.png

Image:OCDSBlogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
