Governance Advisory Panel

The Toronto District School Board Governance Advisory Panel, led by former Toronto Mayor Barbara Hall, was established by the Ministry of Education to consult with the TDSB community and make recommendations to the Minister with respect to possible structural and procedural changes at the school board.

Following the establishment of the Panel, TDSB Trustees provided a submission, entitled Positive Change That’s Working, for its consideration. The submission included a number of Board improvements to accountability and governance, and proposed new and fresh solutions to issues related to school consolidations and community use of schools.

The Panel made a number of recommendations in their final report which was submitted to the Minister of Education in August 2015 and made public in December 2015.

Below, you will find links to more information with regards to the Minister of Education’s response to the recommendations and a subsequent statement from TDSB Chair Robin Pilkey.
