Toronto District School Board, also known as TDSB, is the English-language public school board for Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The minority francophone (Conseil scolaire de district du Centre-Sud-Ouest) and Catholic (Toronto Catholic District School Board) communities of Toronto also have their own publicly funded school boards and schools that operate in the same area, but which are independent of the TDSB.

History

The board was created in 1998 following the merger of the school boards for the former municipalities of York, East York, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, as well as the Metropolitan Toronto Public School Board.

The head office moved from the old Toronto Public Board of Education office at 155 College Street to the 5050 Yonge Street location, by Mel Lastman Square (previously, the offices of the North York Board of Education).

Organization

Gerry Connelly is the Director of Education. There are 558 schools in the TDSB. Of these, 451 offer elementary education, 102 offer secondary level education, and there are five adult day schools. The TDSB has 16 alternative elementary schools as well as 20 alternative secondary schools. It is the largest school board in Canada[6] and the 4th largest in North America. TDSB has approximately 31,000 permanent and 8,000 temporary staff, which includes 10,000 elementary school teachers and 5,800 at the secondary level.[2]

Vehicles

TDSB has a varierty of vans and small trucks inherited by the former school boards. Older trucks have been retired, but some retain their old colours (namely Board of Education of North York). As for school buses, they are now contracted out to private operators. The Scarborough Board of Education, North York Board of Education and Toronto Board of Education had their own fleets.
