Dear Families,The Ontario government has made a number of announcements that will affect how publicly funded education is delivered in this province and in our board. This includes changes to class sizes, curriculum and Board budgets.
We recognize that you may have questions about what these changes may mean for your children and your family. While we do not have all the answers, we do know that this will have an effect on our Board.
Tragic Event in Christchurch, New Zealand
We were shocked and deeply saddened to learn this morning of the attacks on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. There is no room for this type of hate and violence in our society. Our hearts are broken along with those affected in New Zealand and in the Muslim community around the world.

At a special board meeting last night, trustees accepted the resignation of Anna DeBartolo from her role as trustee for Vaughan Wards 1 and 2.
Anna DeBartolo, who served the Board for 15 years, resigned for personal reasons and is requesting privacy at this time. We would like to thank her for her years of service to public education.
After careful consideration of the options, trustees determined that holding a by-election would provide the residents of Vaughan with a fair process to democratically select their representative.
