Jan 30: Secondary Program Review and Optional Attendance Policy
The TDSB is undertaking a review of secondary schools to ensure all students have equitable access to programs and opportunities. As part of this review, the Board is also reviewing the Optional Attendance Policy (P013), which allows students to apply to schools other than their designated school by home address. We have held four public meetings on both Optional Attendance Policy (P013) and Secondary Program Review in November 2019 and you can review this presentation here. On January 30, 2020, we will be hosting two virtual information sessions as our public consultations. The sessions will take place at 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. A link to these sessions can be found on our Secondary Program Review page.
