TDSB expects to cut 289 teaching positions next fall, board says | CBC News
""Every spring, the TDSB goes through a process to determine how staff are placed in schools for the upcoming school year. This planning helps ensure that every school has the staff required to support the needs of students.""
""The number of teachers is largely based on declining enrolment with the TDSB anticipating nearly 5,000 fewer students in the new school year.""
""It's important to note that staffing allocations fluctuate up until the new school year starts and the numbers are not yet final.""
""The ETT represents more than 11,000 elementary teachers who work at the TDSB, which is currently under provincial supervision.""
The Toronto District School Board expects to reduce teaching positions by 289 in response to declining enrolment, anticipating nearly 5,000 fewer students. Staffing allocations are determined annually based on enrolment figures. Ryan Bird, a TDSB spokesperson, emphasized that these numbers are not final and can fluctuate until the school year begins. The Elementary Teachers of Toronto has raised concerns about transparency in staffing allocations, with reports suggesting a potential cut of 484 elementary teaching positions, although specific details on the distribution between elementary and secondary schools remain unclear.
