What does School Board do?

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is Canada's largest school board, overseeing publicly funded elementary and secondary education in Toronto. It serves approximately 235,000 students across nearly 600 schools and provides Adult and Continuing Education programs for over 100,000 lifelong learners. The TDSB operates under provincial oversight, guided by a 22-member board of trustees and a Director of Education, focusing on student success through its Multi-Year Strategic Plan. With around 42,000 staff members, including educators and support personnel, the TDSB emphasizes high standards and a positive learning environment. The board also maintains the Sesquicentennial Museum and Archives, which houses Canada's largest education-based collection, featuring over 7,000 artworks and a wealth of historical documents. The TDSB is dedicated to promoting equity, diversity, and student achievement within its educational framework.
