Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce says he is concerned about the Toronto District School Board’s updated admissions policy for specialized programs that forgoes admission based on merit in favour of a lottery system.
In an April 17 letter to Toronto District School Board (TDSB) chair Rachel Lin, Mr. Lecce said he had “serious concerns” over the updated admissions policy. He told the board to review the changes, which were made in 2022, and “initiate a new, open, and transparent policy review consultation.”
