The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is taking new steps to improve the dissemination of and access to data that is routinely collected by the Board. Recently, the Board established a Documents for Access, Transparency and Accountability (DATA) workgroup that will recommend an open data policy for the TDSB. This approach is consistent with the trend in the public sector to provide greater access to information. While we must at all times respect the rights to privacy under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, at the same time I believe we need to identify opportunities that promote greater transparency, openness and accountability. In this context, I am making available my employment contract with the TDSB and posting it on the TDSB website.
