Video human rights complaint filed against york region district school board


The York Region District School Board (YRDSB) is the English-language public school board for York Regional Municipality in Ontario, Canada. The York Region District School Board is the province's third largest school board, with an enrollment of over 122,000 students. It is in the fastest-growing census division in Ontario and the third fastest growing in Canada.

Contents

The public francophone (Conseil scolaire Viamonde), English Catholic (York Catholic District School Board), and French Catholic (Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud) communities of York Region also have their own publicly funded school boards and schools that operate in the same area.

History

The school board has been referred to as "English-language Public District School Board No. 16" in Ontario legislation prior to 1999. It was officially known as the York Region Board of Education until it changed its name in 1998 to York Region District School Board. Prior to 1971 it was called York County School Board.

Governance

The YRDSB is governed by an elected board of trustees, whose election coincides with the municipal elections in Ontario held throughout the province every four years. The Board consists of 12 trustees, divided amongst the constituent municipalities based on population. Two student trustees are elected by the York Region Presidents' Council every school year (since 2004), which is made up of the 33 Student Council Presidents of all the secondary schools in York Region. The student trustees facilitate communication between students and the school board. The Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board are chosen by secret ballot of the trustees at the inaugural meeting in December.

For day to day operations the most senior staff member of the board is the Director of Education, to whom the Associate Director and all of the Superintendents report.

Programs

Besides the curriculum established by the Government of Ontario, the York Region District School Board places heavy emphasis on its Character Matters program. As well, due to the multicultural nature, and large immigrant population of students under the YRDSB, the Board established the Race Relations Advisory Committee, a standing committee of the board to advise the trustees on issues related to ethnocultural relations. The committee is made up of trustees, staff, community members and students.

Divisions

The school board is divided into four Community Education Centres (North, Central, East and West). The centres represent communities as follows:

  • North: Georgina; Whitchurch-Stouffville, and East Gwillimbury; Newmarket;
  • Central: Aurora and King; Richmond Hill (2 trustees); and Vaughan;
  • East: East Gwillimbury, and Whitchurch-Stouffville; Markham (3 trustees); and
  • West: Maple; Vaughan; Woodbridge; Thornhill (2 trustees).

    • The school board teaches approximately 70 000 elementary and 40 000 secondary school students.

    Secondary schools

    The school board currently manages 33 facilities that provide secondary education.

    Elementary schools

    The school board currently manages 175 facilities which provides elementary education.
