Camillo Cipriano resigned as director of education for the Niagara Catholic District School Board after six years, with his last day on June 5. He was appointed chief executive officer of the Toronto District School Board, beginning June 8. The Toronto public board had supervisors appointed by the province after financial investigations found multimillion-dollar deficits. Niagara Catholic said Cipriano’s leadership included faith-based management, a culture focused on student success and staff development, and results including nearly 5,000 student growth and improved math and literacy skills. Niagara Catholic named Giancarlo Vetrone, associate director of education for corporate services, as interim director of education. The Toronto board cited Cipriano’s track record in financial management and commitment to student and staff achievement.
"Niagara Catholic District School Board's director of education is moving to the much larger Toronto District School Board, which the province had stripped of much of its powers last year due to what it called financial problems at that board. The Niagara Catholic board said on Friday that education director Camillo Cipriano has resigned after six years. His last day will be June 5. The Toronto public board also announced on Friday that Cipriano has been appointed as the board's new chief executive officer, starting June 8."
"The Toronto board was one of four Ontario school boards at which the province appointed supervisors to oversee the board's finances and operations last summer. The move followed financial investigations by Ministry of Education staff or appointed auditors found the boards were facing multimillion-dollar deficits. The Toronto Catholic District School Board, Ottawa-Carleton District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board also had supervisors appointed."
"While we are sad to lose a leader with such strong, faith-based management skills who has been committed to creating a culture focused on student success and staff development, it is not surprising that his immense talent would be recognized across the province," board chair Danny Di Lorenzo said in a news release. On Cipriano's watch, the board grew by nearly 5,000 students and had improved math and literacy skills, the board of trustees said."
"The Toronto board of trustees said Cipriano has a proven track record of solid financial management. "Mr. Cipriano has demonstrated not only an unwavering commitment to student and staff achievement, but also a dedication to strengthening confidence in the organization's financial and operation"
