On August 21, 2019, the Ministry of Education issued a memo (PPM 162) requiring school boards to develop procedures for "Exemption from instruction related to the Human Development and Sexual Health Expectations in the Ontario Curriculum: Health and Physical Education, Grades 1-8, 2019". The TDSB wants to hear from its school communities if they have any comments or suggestions that should be considered by the TDSB. Fill in the survey using the link below:
Within a few short weeks of taking office this spring the new Provincial Government canceled much needed updates to the Indigenous Curriculum and rolled back the Health Curriculum without forward planning, analysis, or consultation.

We are urging parents, student, community organizations, and advocacy groups to share one voice in supporting our local school boards and teachers, and in telling the Province what we want for the safety and wellbeing of Ontario's children.
