COVID-19 UpdateOntario’s COVID-19 case rates continue to decline as vaccination numbers rise. On Friday, the province announced the move to Step 3 will occur this Friday, July 16, 2021. Click here for the details of the province’s Roadmap to Reopen to learn more about the changes that will come into effect on Friday. The rules for Step 3 are here.
As of July 5, all children and youth aged 12 to 17 are eligible for a second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Please remember you can now rebook your 2nd dose appointment for an earlier date if you had a 1st dose of Pfizer or Moderna 28 days ago or AstraZeneca 8 weeks ago.
As of yesterday, July 10, walk-in appointments are available for 1st or 2nd doses for anyone 18+.each day from 12PM – 7PM at 4 City-run clinics:
- Metro Toronto Convention Centre, 277 Front St. W.
- Toronto Congress Centre, 650 Dixon Rd.
- The Hangar, 75 Carl Hall Rd.
- Cloverdale Mall, 250 The East Mall
For more information on vaccines visit http://toronto.ca/covid-19; call 1-833-943-3900. Text the word VACCINE to 1-833-750-0888 to be connected with resources including appointment bookings & information on vaccines. Residents who are eligible can book an appointment using the Province's booking system at https://covid-19.ontario.ca/book-vaccine/ immunization or by calling the Provincial booking system at 1-833-943-3900 (TTY 1-866-797-0007).
And please, if you are on Twitter, follow Vaccine Hunters Canada @VaxHuntersCan! Vaccine Hunters. On Friday, they announced the launch of their multilingual website Find Your Immunization (“FYI”) , providing vaccine availability from pharmacies, pop-ups, and clinics Canada-wide.
“Getting fully vaccinated is our best defense against COVID-19 and its variants. It’s also key to helping us sustain our progress to end this pandemic so we can get back to enjoying our city together. Now that our local vaccine supply has increased, we’ve added more convenient ways to get vaccinated. I encourage all residents to roll up their sleeve to get their first dose if they haven’t already, and to move up their second dose appointment to an earlier date to get the best protection sooner.” – Dr. Eileen de Villa, Medical Officer of Health
Vaccines provide the best protection against COVID-19 and variants. The sooner you get both of your shots, the better for all.
"Regardless of which #VariantsOfConcern are predominating in an area, we know that vaccination, in combination with public health and individual measures, continue to work to reduce the spread of COVID-19." – Dr. Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer
Ontario’s vaccine rollout so far - as of July 8 at 8pm
- Eligible population (12+) - 77.5% of 12+ with at least one shot; 50.0% of 12+ fully vaccinated
- 59% of youth have received one dose of a vaccine, while another 14% have received their second.
Toronto's data is updated twice per week on Monday and Thursday by 4:00 PM, except on statutory holidays.
- Eligible population (12+) - 78% of 12+ with at least one shot;
- 55.9% of 12+ fully vaccinated

Health Guidance for the 2021-22 School YearOver the summer, Toronto Public Health (TPH) and the Ministry of Education (EDU) will be reviewing and updating health guidance for the 2021-22 school year - Thankfully TDSB's staff have been working closely on plans for months applying learnings from last school year, but they will need the Ministry and TPH to get their rules sorted as the TDSB takes direction from both TPH and EDU on public health measures in our schools. It is our hope that this guidance will be announced prior to parents/caregivers needing to complete the selection form. See below re selection process.
There is no question TPH's advice will depend on key public health and health care indicators. That is why the best thing everyone can do to ensure schools reopen safely is continuing to follow health and safety guidelines and those 12+ get double vaccinated.
But what have we done and what are we doing now as we wait for direction?
Ventilation - Before the start of the 2020-21 school year, schools that have full or partial mechanical systems have had systems recommissioned or recalibrated to maximize air flow, improve air flow and ventilation. 497 schools, 89% of TDSB schools have full or partial mechanical systems. To check the list of schools, click here.
For schools with mechanical ventilation for 2021-22, the ventilation systems will continue to be started two hours before the start of school and two hours past the end of school to maximize the air exchanges in the building. The majority of schools with mechanical ventilation also have Building Automation Systems (BAS) which means that staff can verify the operation of the mechanical system remotely and respond to any issues, to adjust ventilation and temperature throughout the building, zone by zone.
In buildings that do not have mechanical ventilation – air exchange in the school occurs naturally or passively throughout the day - through the building envelope (air infiltration), operable windows and from the exhaust system in the building which draws air through and out the building.
Industrial-Grade HEPA Air Filtration - Listening to the science regarding air filtration as COVID-19 is airborne, with funding provided through the province the Board also undertook additional filter changes and purchased stand-alone, institutional-grade HEPA air filtration units. In 202-21, the Board provided more than 11,000 HEPA units for every occupied classroom, in both elementary and secondary schools and has another 2500 reserved to ensure all additional occupied classrooms have institutional-grade HEPA air filtration units in 2021-22. "Ventilation has emerged as one of the most critical COVID prevention strategies, and HEPA filters are among the most efficient at capturing human-generated viral particles, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." This new study finds portable, high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) cleaners can reduce airborne particles and, along with universal masking, offers greater protection from COVID-19.
System Upgrades - The board undertakes mechanical system upgrades every year as part of our school renewal program. In 2019-2020 we did 92 projects (Cooling Centres, Air Handling Unit Replacement, etc.) – totalling approximately $30M from School Condition Improvement (SCI) funding. Most are complete or nearing completion. In 2020-2021, there were approximately 20 projects totalling $10.5M funded from SCI. These are underway. And in addition, in February 2021, the Board received federal funding through the Covid-19 Resilience Infrastructure funding for Building Automation Upgrades ($14.48M, for 104 projects) and $24.75M for HVAC upgrades (55 projects). This work is underway with a target completion date of December 31, 2021. We are also undertaking HVAC upgrades in portables for a total of $627,000. For projects in Ward 8, click here.
Approximately 110 TDSB schools (22% of schools with ventilation systems) utilize CO2 monitoring in one or more air handling units. But it is not a code requirement to have them in every classroom. According to our engineers, there is very little scientific evidence showing a direct correlation between CO2 levels and the risk of COVID-19 transmission. What we do see is an indirect link between the two, in the sense that high CO2 levels may indicate a high occupancy rate in a space, and a high occupancy rate may facilitate the spread of the virus. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has a page on CO2 this on their website.
New this summer is that staff are close to completing a systemwide data-building exercise that looks at all buildings in terms of identifying the type of ventilation in the buildings and from this, we can extrapolate or model air exchange information for the building or sections of the building. This information will also be posted when complete.
Public Health Guidelines - Regarding decisions on whether to relax guidelines on wearing masks or physical distancing (cohorting) in schools, we will rely on the advice of Toronto Public Health - and this will depend entirely on the amount of community spread and vaccination rates which is why we all must continue to do our part.
Testing - Regarding testing in schools, we understand Toronto Public Health and the hospitals are developing a plan to have a convenient, accessible, non-invasive Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests available at schools - take home saliva kits. There will be more on this prior to school reopening and it will be an important part of the strategy.
Outdoor Learning - Staff have confirmed t here will also be an emphasis on outdoor learning when schools reopen which will also encourage teachers to take students outside, even in the winter, as there are many health and well being benefits for increasing the amount of time outdoors. We have updated information on the website on this direction - Taking Learning Outside. The current model for outdoor education will also be restructured to provide instructional support in schools while ensuring that all staff and students have access to resources made available through the TDSB Outdoor Education Centres; and investments in school ground infrastructure will be prioritized based on the guiding principles and priorities outlined in the report approved by the Board in May.
I plan another update in a few weeks when we will have more details to share.

Learning Model Selection for 2021-22
Further to the last update, the TDSB will be asking families to complete an online Selection Form for In-Person or Virtual Learning for the 2021-22 school year.
Over the past several weeks, COVID-19 cases in Toronto have continued to decline, and we have seen significant progress with vaccines among adults and children aged 12-17. This is encouraging news, and we look forward to reconnecting all students to their home schools and welcoming them in person in September.
While requests for Virtual Learning will be accommodated where necessary, we strongly encourage all students to select In-Person Learning. Based on our TDSB data about how students feel they learn best, and available data with respect to students returning to in-person learning, we feel confident that this is the best choice for students following what has been a challenging year. See below re research reports.
Families can complete the Selection Form for In-Person or Virtual Learning online from Thursday, August 5 to Thursday, August 12. An email with a Selection Form link will be sent on Thursday, August 5. Families with two or more children will receive a separate email and link for each student. Families must complete the Selection Form using the link provided. Those without an email address on file with the TDSB will receive a phone call to complete the Selection Form between August 10 and 12. Students will be placed in In-Person Learning if we do not receive a completed Selection Form by August 12.

School During the Pandemic: Research & Reports The Research and Development department is very interested in understanding the impact of COVID-19 on our students, families, and staff. They are monitoring a variety of policy areas within the board to support schools and the system in adapting to change and planning for the future.
Reports available to-date:
As the pandemic continues, they are committed to disaggregating and analyzing results in more depth; building upon key areas of interest/concern from results through student and staff engagement; developing student voice; understanding experiences within ongoing practice and policy in close partnership with other departments within the TDSB; and collecting current and relevant data to support ongoing decision-making.

TDSB’s 2021 School Renewal Needs Backlog Pegged at $3.7 Billion
The Toronto District School Board’s (TDSB) 2021 data reports a system-wide school renewal needs backlog of $3.7 billion, up from $3.6 billion in June 2020.
The Ontario government is responsible for determining the funds for school boards to make school repairs. TDSB’s schools are underfunded and have been for many years. The Board’s repairs backlog was approximately $3.7 billion as of May 2021. For the 2021-2022 school year, the Ministry allocated $275 million to the TDSB, well short of its repairs backlog.
The TDSB continues to advocate for the Ontario government to grant the Board access to Education Development Charges (EDCs) and to allow EDCs to be partially used to repair schools. Given the rate of new residential development in the City of Toronto, if the TDSB had access to EDCs it would generate approximately $500 million in new revenue over the next 15 years – funds that could build new schools and repair existing schools.
The TDSB brought a legal challenge to access EDCs which was heard by the court March 2021. The Ontario government was supported by BILD, an association of land developers in Ontario, an Intervenor in the case. TDSB is disappointed with the Divisional Court’s decision to uphold the government’s right to deny the TDSB access to development charges. The TDSB is reviewing the decision and will be considering an appeal. TDSB Chair Alexander Brown said the Board will continue to use all means at its disposal to advocate for TDSB’s fair access to EDCs.
Chair Brown expressed his appreciation to parent organizations such as Fix Our Schools for their grass roots advocacy work to raise awareness and increase provincial funding for school repairs.
Consistent with the TDSB’s commitment to transparency, accountability and Open Data, the TDSB reports annual system-wide and school-by-school Renewal Needs Backlog (RNB) and the Facility Condition Index (FCI) information. The system-wide data are posted on the TDSB’s website and each school’s data are reported on school websites. The FCI and RNB data correspond to the 2021 calendar year. In 2016, the TDSB became, what is thought to be, the first school board in Ontario to post each school’s FCI rating and RNB.
Quick Facts
- The Renewal Needs Backlog (RNB) list and the Facility Condition Index (FCI) rating do not represent a health or safety concern for students or staff.
- Data is collected by an independent consultant hired by the Ministry of Education.
- Approximately 50 per cent of our schools are over 60 years old and building components continue to age requiring major repairs or replacement. 64 of our schools are older than 95 years, including seven that were built before 1900.
How to View the Data
You can find the information for your school by name or address by visiting our Find Your School webpage. On each individual school webpage, you will see a “Renewal Needs and FCI” link in the navigation menu on the left side of the page. That link will take you directly to the Renewal Needs Backlog (list of school building repairs) and the Facility Condition Index rating.
Please note that some of the items that would compromise the security of our buildings were redacted. These items include, but are not limited to, security systems and fire alarms, which have access codes included in the data.
“We need to create more sustainable funding sources to reduce the backlog. It’s time for the provincial government to allow the TDSB to access Education Development Charges (EDCs) to assist with the purchase of future school sites to support our students and growing communities. It’s estimated that EDCs would generate approximately $500 million for the TDSB over the next 15 years.” - Alexander Brown, Chair, TDSB
“At the TDSB, the safety of our school and administrative facilities is a top priority. While the Board is underfunded for repairs, we do make all required repairs to our facilities to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and community visitors. Within the limits of our provincial funding for repairs, we are committed to providing learning environments that support student achievement and well-being.” - Karen Falconer, Interim Director of Education, TDSB
“The TDSB is the largest school board in Ontario so its multi-billion-dollar list of repairs is extremely concerning. As concerning is that provincial funding has been insufficient to even stem the tide on the upward trend of disrepair in schools. Surely, the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the criticality of safe, healthy, well-maintained, and well-ventilated schools? Our provincial government must start prioritizing schools as critical infrastructure and provide the stable funding needed to truly fix Ontario’s schools.”- Krista Wylie, Co-Founder of Fix Our Schools

ReconciliACTION
This past week I attended the ' Equity and Inclusion for Student Well-Being' conference sponsored by CASSA and CSBA (Canadian School Boards Association). The first day spoke to the CSBA's critical anti-racist review of its policies, practices and structures. The second day was all about school mental health and the relationship between student mental health and well-being and equity in school systems. It included a student panel sharing their experience and advice. And the last day Kevin Lamoureux shared his learnings and perspectives on the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 'Calls to Action' and Haley Rose spoke to "Raised Voices: Carriers of Hope Youth Leaders in First Nations Education Policy" - she shared five Calls to Action aimed at driving change to support First Nations student success. Three learnings from Kevin Lamoureux
- Humanize the Other… build relationships to help change minds and hearts
- Education and Awareness… start with kindness not curriculum to create space for difficult conversations bringing Elders into the conversation
- Acknowledge, Understand and Explore Privilege… use it to create change
I share the graphic below with actions we can all take.

2021-22 Operating Budget - The Board decided:
- That the 2021-22 Operating Budget, as presented in the report, be approved;
- Whereas, the COVID-19 pandemic has, in many ways, changed the way that the TDSB operates to keep students and staff as safe as possible, and as a result has had a significant financial impact; and
- Whereas, in order to avoid reducing programs to students during the pandemic, school boards are required to fund pandemic costs up to 2% of their operating allocation using reserves for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 school years. - which has put the board in a more precarious financial position and may impede the Board’s ability to meet future operating obligations as they arise; and
- Whereas, we have significant concerns about the residual impacts of the pandemic after presenting a deficit budget for two consecutive years;
- Therefore, be it resolved:
- That the Chair to write the Minister of Education once again:
- i. to advocate for the ministry to fund the full cost of the pandemic and reimburse the Toronto District School Board for the use of its reserves;
- ii. to fully fund all costs necessary to implement the Board’s COVID-19 recovery plan to mitigate the long-term impacts on student learning for all ages and grade levels, as well as the impacts on students’ mental health and well-being
Program and Sketch Plan Approval: Hodgson Middle School Addition and Renovation - The Board decided that the Program and Sketch Plan, as presented in the report, be approved for a three-storey addition and renovation to Hodgson Middle School, acknowledging a shortfall in the current approved project funding.

Yonge-Eglinton Phase 2 Program Area Review for Eglinton Junior Public School, John Fisher Junior Public School, and the Bannockburn Building (12 Bannockburn Avenue) Report -The Board decided:
- That John Fisher Junior Public School become a dual-track school, beginning with Junior Kindergarten in the English program, and expanding by one grade per year up to and including Grade 5, effective September 1, 2022;
- That the portion of Eglinton Junior Public School’s existing junior attendance area north of Broadway Avenue, including the north side of Broadway Avenue, be assigned to John Fisher Junior Public School, beginning with Junior Kindergarten, and expanding by one grade per year up to and including Grade 5, effective September 1, 2022;
- That new students included in Part (b) above with an older sibling attending Eglinton Junior Public School, in the same year that the younger sibling enters the school, be allowed to attend Eglinton Junior Public School until they graduate;
- That the Bannockburn building be re-opened as Bannockburn Public School effective September 1, 2023, initially as a Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3 French Immersion centre, and expanding by one grade per year up to and including Grade 6 in September 2026;
- That Senior Kindergarten to Grade 3 French Immersion students at John Fisher Junior Public School residing within the Bedford Park Public School/Blythwood Junior Public School shared attendance area, Bedford Park Public School attendance area, and John Wanless Junior Public School attendance area be redirected to Bannockburn, effective September 1, 2023;
- That Senior Kindergarten to Grade 3 students with an older sibling in Grades 4 to 6 attending John Fisher Junior Public School in September 2023 be allowed to remain at John Fisher Junior Public School until they graduate;
- That the John Fisher Junior Public School Special Central Placement Process, approved by the Board of Trustees in March 2017 to relocate students wishing to withdraw from the French Immersion program at John Fisher Junior Public School in light of construction at 18-30 Erskine Avenue, be ended effective September 1, 2022;
- That the reversal of residential development redirections in Eglinton Junior Public School’s and John Fisher Junior Public School’s proposed attendance areas be considered in 2024-25, pending a review of accommodation pressures and space availability at the two schools.
Return to Semesters - The Board decided:
- Whereas, the quadmester model has been a practical model used during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure student safety through limited cohorting to allow high school students return to school in-person during the 2020-2021 school year; and
- Whereas, we have heard from students, parents and staff about concerns around the quadmester model creating excessive stress, compressed learning opportunities, and extreme challenges in keeping up should students need to miss school; and
- Whereas, the modified semester timetable is an improvement on the quadmester timetable, the modified semester not only still presents barriers to continuous learning and curriculum retention, but also provides significant challenges in meeting the needs of our special education students; and
- Whereas, vaccines are now widely available to staff and high school students, and uptake appears to be strong with vaccine rollout progressing well;
- Therefore, be it resolved:
- That the Chair write a letter to the Minister of Education indicating:
- i. that if by mid-summer vaccination rates are strong and case counts low, that every consideration be given to moving to a traditional semester model;
- ii. that such decision be provided to Boards by August 2021 so that schools would be able to organize to safely receive students in this model in a timely manner.

Development Committee’s (K-12 SDC) Initial Recommendations Report Consultation
The province is encouraging participation in the public consultation on the K-12 Standards Development Committee’s (K-12 SDC) Initial Recommendations Report (Initial Report). In Ontario, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) outlines the legislated process for the development of new accessibility standards through Standards Development Committees.
The mandate of the K-12 Education SDC is to provide recommendations to government on removing and preventing accessibility barriers in the publicly funded education system. The Initial Report is the result of an extensive joint effort of Government appointed representatives from the disability community and the education sector to identify the barriers that students with disabilities face and the measures needed to remove and prevent them.
This new video will help you better understand the report, and how and why you should provide feedback. I encourage you to watch the video and to fill out the survey.
The Initial Report was posted online on June 1, 2021 for a period of business 65 days. The public may also provide written submissions by email to: educationSDC@ontario.ca. The public has an opportunity to participate in these consultations until September 2, 2021.
