Summary
Toronto’s public school boards are grappling with steep deficits—TCDSB facing $15 million, TCDSB nearly $40 million—despite major cost-cutting efforts. Both boards have trimmed staff and slashed discretionary spending, with TCDSB saving $59.5 million and TCDSB nearly $26 million. Even as student numbers drop, they’re prioritizing core support for math, reading, special education, and mental health. Under provincial oversight, these boards are racing to stabilize finances amid shifting demographics, reduced ESL funding, and declining international enrollment.
