Stakeholder Consultations & Public Delegations

As part of the search process, we are conducting a survey to learn more about our community’s insights on the appointment of TDSB’s next leader. With the success and well-being of TDSB’s students and staff at the centre of this search, responses to this survey will assist greatly in defining the qualities, attributes, and skills required to advance the school board’s vision, mission, practices, and culture.

We would appreciate students, staff, parents/guardians/caregivers, our partners, and members of the broader community taking the time to share your insights on opportunities that lie ahead for the new Director of Education in the coming years. The results of this survey will be used to develop criteria to select the next Director of Education who will shape TDSB’s future strategy, key performance indicators, and will build upon TDSB’s commitments to its diverse community of students, staff, and stakeholders.

Survey responses will be confidential and reported anonymously as group data. Please submit your survey no later than September 22, 2024 at 11:59pm.
