The board's change of heart is welcome news to David Lepofsky, chair of the Access for Ontarians with Disabilities Act Alliance, who has a child who is visually impaired. 'It's a relief, but it's also a warning about how vulnerable our visually impaired kids and other students with special needs are within the school boards,' he told CBC Toronto. 'They need to be protected.'
The PDSB employs hundreds of teachers who don't work full-time in traditional classroom settings. Instead, they work from the board's head office for one of 16 departments, like math, the equity and Indigenous department, or the special education department. As specialists, they help develop strategy at the board's headquarters, as well as work in classrooms for varying periods of time.
