TDSB & Ward 10 News

Updates on news and events from across the Toronto District School Board and Ward 7.

Deborah Williams is the elected Toronto District School Board (TDSB) Trustee for Ward 7 (Clinton was previously part of Ward 10). However, at this time (Nov, 5) Trustees have not been sworn in, and even once they are (possibly within the next week), they will hold titles but no governance or decision-making power over TDSB issues as the Board remains under government supervision. 

TDSB Updates: 

The November 7 PIAC Conference is sold out! This is great news for parent engagement, but bad news for anyone who wants to attend. If any Council execs do want to attend please let me know and I can reach out to the organizers to see what's possible. 

The rest of the updates below are straight from the TDSB: 

Early French Immersion (JK Entry) Application Process TDSB offers an online application process for Early French Immersion (begins in Junior Kindergarten).
