Ontario Taking Action to Restore School Board Financial Stability
June 27, 2025
- We have been clear, if a school board veers off its mandate, we will take action to restore focus, rebuild trust and put students first.
- Following recommendations from independent investigations into the finances of four school boards, the Ontario government is appointing supervisors to the Toronto District School Board, the Toronto Catholic District School Board, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board.
- These supervisors will address concerns regarding growing deficits, depleting reserves and ongoing cases of mismanagement.
- The appointed supervisors bring extensive experience in government, financial management and public accountability, and were selected for their strong track records of leadership and oversight.
- As part of its plan to protect Ontario and ensure students are prepared for the jobs of tomorrow, these actions will help the province restore sound financial management at these school boards and ensure that every dollar invested is preparing students with practical skills for good-paying, stable careers.
