Staffing in elementary schools helps create safe and positive classrooms where students can learn and thrive. Each year, the TDSB plans school staffing based on student enrolment, Ministry of Education requirements, and collective agreements.
Staffing is planned in the spring and reviewed again in September once schools confirm how many students are attending class. Sometimes, changes in enrolment can lead to adjustments in classroom organization. When this happens, schools communicate directly with families and support students through any transitions.
Families may hear about staffing-related topics such as
Staff Allocation, Elementary Reorganization, and
Combined Grade Classes. These processes help schools respond to enrolment changes while ensuring students continue to learn in welcoming classrooms.
