Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic Calendar. During the month of Ramadan, many Muslims around the world abstain from food and water from sunrise to sunset for 29 or 30 consecutive days. This year, Ramadan is expected to begin in the evening on Friday, February 28, 2025 and end on Saturday, March 29, 2025. 

The TDSB Human Rights Office has developed a guide - Ramadan and the Duty to Accommodate. Included you will find information about Ramadan along with some tips and considerations for meeting the duty to accommodate staff and students under the Ontario Human Rights Code and TDSB’s Human Rights Policy (P031). To all observing Ramadan Mubarak!

Media Release - February 19, 2025

With a little more than one week to go before the provincial election, Toronto District School Board Trustees are calling on party leaders to prioritize students and properly fund public education in Ontario.

During a Regular Meeting this evening, Trustees approved a motion that would call on the leaders of the four major political parties in Ontario to commit to addressing the $1,500 shortfall in per student funding (when adjusted for inflation) and remedy the funding gap that has been created.

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives states that for the 2018-19 school year, school boards counted on an average of $14,700 per student in inflation-adjusted terms and for the 2024-25 school year, boards will have to make do with $13,200.

As Canada’s largest school board, TDSB serves approximately 239,000 students in 579 schools throughout Toronto, with over 100,000 life-long learners in Adult and Continuing Education programs. The needs of the system are significant to meet demands on critical services and infrastructure.

Quick Facts

The funding gap for each individual student across the TDSB is over $730 to address just the current existing needs.

There is currently a $38.5 million shortfall to support students with special education needs at the TDSB.

There is a $10.9 million shortfall to support student and staff mental health, safety and well-being.

“When Toronto families head to the polls this month for the provincial election, we will all cast a vote for a better future. The TDSB, Canada’s largest school board, is asking all four major parties to fix the issue of chronic underfunding of public education here in Toronto and across the province. Ontario students are the future, and it is time we afford them the tomorrow they deserve with an increase in per student funding that sets them up for success.” - Neethan Shan, Chair, TDSB

The provincial election will be held this Thursday, February 27. Everyone who is at least 18 years old, lives in Ontario and holds Canadian citizenship. Most eligible voters will receive voter information cards (VIC) in the mail. But you do not need a Voters Card to vote - you just need ID. In order to vote, one piece of valid ID is necessary. The Elections Ontario website, www.elections.on.ca, includes information of what ID is acceptable and how to update change of address and other information.

Read on for more information from the Ontario Public School Boards Association (OPSBA) and make sure to attend local all candidates’ meetings if possible.

The Parties

OPSBA has reached out to the four main parties – the Progressive Conservatives, New Democrats, Liberals, and Greens – represented in the Ontario Legislature with a questionnaire on key education issues this election. Replies will be posted here as they come in.

At the February 19, 2025 Board Meeting, the Board received the Report Update: Affirming Jewish Identities and Addressing Antisemitism and the Combatting Hate and Racism Strategy.

The Board then decided the following:

That the Chair and Director release a statement right after the Board meeting on February 19, 2025 that clearly articulates the decisions made during the meeting in order to avoid misinterpretation and/or misinformation; and

That the Director update the roadmap of the Combating Hate and Racism Strategy to reflect a path, after the completion of currently planned research, consultation, and identification of action items in Phases 1 to 3, to create a consolidated and unified Anti-Racism and Anti-Hate Strategy to provide a safe and respectful educational system where all students and staff can learn and work in an environment free from hate, racism, and discrimination under the Human Rights Code and Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 

Media Release in Response to Board Direction - February 21, 2025

"Schools are places where all students must feel a sense of belonging. Reflecting on what we heard from communities during last week’s Planning and Priorities Committee meeting, it is clear that we must continue building bridges of understanding, care and compassion. All of our efforts must be dedicated to supporting all students to learn in safe, respectful, equitable and inclusive learning environments.

At this week’s Regular Meeting of the Board, Trustees received the recent community consultation update report on Affirming Jewish Identities & Addressing Antisemitism that was first introduced at last week’s Planning and Priorities Committee meeting.

In receiving the report, Trustees received an update on the community consultation, which was a reflection of what staff heard during the consultation process to date. This report was not the antisemitism strategy and no decision was made on the recommendations outlined in" the report, as the consultation process will continue.

Moving forward and in line with decisions made at Board, we will continue to engage our communities through the planned consultations to complete all three phases identified in the report. This will shape the development of a unified, consolidated and comprehensive Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism strategy to combat hate and racism in all their forms."

Director of Education            Chair

Anti-Hate & Anti-Racism Strategy                      Reporting Incidents of Hate

As staff continue developing the overarching Anti-Hate and Anti-Racism Strategy please remember that should an incident of antisemitism or any form of hate or racism occur in our schools, principals have an obligation to report it.

As I repeat in every update, the TDSB collects data through the Bias and Hate (RBH) Portal. An increase in antisemitic incidents is being experienced in our schools as it is in our communities - on my website I have excerpted from all our public reports on the data - TDSB Public Reports with RBH Portal Data 2018-2023. Principals and Superintendents are being reminded of their responsibilities in documenting incidents and educating against them. All students and staff - all students and staff - must be safe in our schools and free from discrimination, harassment and hate. Antisemitism is but one form of hate our students and staff are experiencing. 

If you are a staff or a student or a parent/caregiver, and you are a victim of/or witnessing an incident of racism, bias, or hate in our schools, please report it to the school's principal, who has a duty to investigate all incidents. For more information, please visit the webpage for Reporting an Incident of Hate or Discrimination Involving or Impacting Students. If you experience it, or witness it, report it. Please. If you are concerned your complaint is not being taken seriously after you follow the Parent Concern Protocol, please let me know.

For incidents involving and impacting students, the following procedures can apply: Reporting and Responding to Racism and Hate Incidents Involving or Impacting Students in Schools, PR728 Parent Concern Protocol, PR505 Caring and Safe Schools related procedures

For employee complaints, the following procedures can apply: Workplace Harassment Prevention and Human Rights, PR515 (for employee conduct alleged to be a human rights violation or Code-based workplace harassment) Non-Code Based Workplace Harassment, PR740

In some circumstances an incident entered into the RBH portal may be a breach of the Criminal Code through the incitement of hate; in which case, the incident must also be reported to the police in accordance with PR728.

Complaints regarding social media postings should be sent directly to the TDSB's Human Rights Office at humanrightsoffice@tdsb.on.ca. The intake process is being centralized in the Human Rights Office to ensure for consistency of process.

If you witness something inside the community, report any allegations of hate-motivated crimes to police for investigation at 416-808-2222 or 9-1-1 in an emergency. The Police state they will not tolerate any intimidation, harassment, or hate-motivated behaviour aimed at specific communities. You can also call 1-800-222-TIPS to Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Please remember TDSB's Mental Health and Well Being Professional Support Staff (PSS) are here to support your mental health and well-being and to help you navigate the tools and resources you may need. Please see resources on their website.

At the last Board Meeting, the Board approved the Personal Mobile Device Use in Schools Policy. The Policy's objectives are to outline requirements for the appropriate use of Personal Mobile Devices by students, staff and other members of the TDSB School Community at schools; to advance a conducive learning environment and promote responsible Digital Citizenship; and to reduce negative impacts of excessive screen time and social media use on students’ achievement, well-being, and mental health. 

The Policy will be posted shortly. Staff will now develop procedures to guide the implementation of the new policy. Grateful for all the input received during the consultation process.

Virtual Urgent Care Kiosk, an in-person space at the Lawrence Allen Center

SickKids started a Virtual Urgent Care (VUC) platform in 2021 (Learn more by clicking here).

After initial community consultation, SickKids have created the Greeter-supported Virtual Urgent Care Kiosk, an in-person space at the Lawrence Allen Center (a local mall located at Lawrence and the Allen Road). This one-year project is a novel, health equity-focused approach to urgent care, which would see SickKids provide an additional way for one of Toronto’s most digitally underserved communities to access our VUC platform.

The initiative launched in late January. SickKids are very excited to bring this novel, health equity-focused resource to the community - we hope this project brings benefits to the local community and learning that will improve care for patients and families.

Stay Home If You Are Sick

During this respiratory virus season, I encourage you to review tips from Toronto Public Health (TPH) to help prevent the spread of infections in schools and communities.

Stay home if you are sick: If you have symptoms of illness, even if they are mild, stay home and wear a mask for 10 days after symptoms start. Practice good hygiene: Wash or sanitize your hands often, cover your cough or sneeze with your elbow or a tissue, and clean frequently touched surfaces.

Vaccines

Toronto Public Health (TPH) is hosting community clinics to help students catch-up on their school-based vaccines. Clinics are appointment based and residents are encouraged to book an appointment.

In Ontario, the Immunization of School Pupil Act (ISPA) requires all students to be up to date with meningococcal vaccines or have a valid exemption  even if they received a meningococcal vaccine as a child. Visit School Immunization Program (SIP) clinics.:

This powerful exhibition arrived in Toronto just ahead of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz on January 27, 2025, "explores the dual identity of the Auschwitz camp as a physical setting — the largest documented mass murder site in human history — and as a symbol of the borderless manifestation of hatred and human atrocity."

Please note that a group of TDSB educators from the Jewish Heritage Committee (as reported at our last JHC Executive meeting) and members of TDSB Central Teaching and Learning Team (part of a team of educational advisors and partners to the ROM), were invited to an advance preview of the exhibit in December and began to plan how we would promote it internally to TDSB and that plan is currently underway….
