TDSB Budget 2024\/2025<\/strong>

Next week the TDSB will host a series of Budget Townhall Meetings and you’re encouraged to attend if you can.<\/span>

The TDSB Chair, Rachel Chernos Lin, and fellow Trustees\u00a0<\/span>called on the Ministry of Education in a recent letter\u00a0<\/a>to address significant funding challenges being experienced by Canada\u2019s largest school board.\u00a0Over recent years, the TDSB has approved a number of operational cuts to programs and services to reduce its deficit. However, these adjustments have not been sufficient to eliminate the deficit in its entirety. Despite these reductions and operational efficiencies, the Board continues to grapple with a significant structural deficit created, in part, by the several factors,\u00a0which are outlined in the TDSB\u00a0<\/span>press release here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>

Reporting Hate<\/strong>

In Our Schools<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>
If you are a staff member, student, or parent\/caregiver, and you are a victim of or witness to an incident of racism, bias, or hate in our schools, please report it to the school’s principal, who has a duty to investigate all incidents. Each time an incident takes place in a school, it is to be recorded in a portal which then begins a system response. We have a responsibility to educate against hate. For more information, please visit the webpage for <\/span>Reporting an Incident of Hate or Discrimination Involving or Impacting Students<\/a>. If you experience it, or witness it, report it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Complaints regarding social media postings should be sent directly to the TDSB’s\u00a0Human Rights Office<\/a><\/span>. The intake process is being centralized in the Human Rights Office to ensure for consistency of process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Our Communities<\/span><\/em>
Report any allegations of hate-motivated crimes to police for investigation at 416-808-2222 or 9-1-1 in an emergency. We will not tolerate any intimidation, harassment, or hate-motivated behaviour aimed at specific communities. You can also call 1-800-222-TIPS to Crime Stoppers anonymously.<\/span>

NEW Toronto Police online option to report hate-motivated graffiti<\/strong>

Toronto Police Service is launching a new option for the public to provide information to police about hate-motivated graffiti in their neighbourhoods. The\u00a0<\/span>web form<\/a>, available on TPS website, provides an additional avenue for the public to alert police to hate-motivated graffiti, so officers can attend, gather evidence and arrange for the hate-motivated graffiti to be removed as quickly as possible. This reporting mechanism will be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/span>
