Ontario's Education Minister Paul Calandra announced the province's intervention in four school boards—two in Toronto and two in Ottawa—following investigations that revealed worsening financial crises. Reports indicated growing deficits and mismanagement issues that adversely affected the education system. This follows a previous intervention in April with the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board, primarily due to extravagant spending involving art procurement for schools. Calandra stressed the failures of these boards to their communities, emphasizing the province's commitment to restoring oversight and accountability.
"The province has appointed supervisors to multiple school boards facing financial challenges. This decision follows investigations revealing deficits and mismanagement that have failed our students and parents."
"In April, we took control of the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board due to financial misconduct, underscoring our commitment to addressing these issues."
