The reports published below present how the 2023 Census is being used to date:
Student Demographics and Learning Opportunities Index Rankings in French Immersion Programs
This report aims to provide an overview of the social demographics of students enrolled in French Immersion within the Toronto District School Board (TDSB). It compares the representation of socio-economic status, racial identity and religion (creed) to that of the overall student population in TDSB based on the regularly collected information on this topic.
An In-Depth Analysis of Students With Special Education Needs In The TDSB
In partnership with the Special Education Department, Research and Development produced four fact sheets focusing on the intersectionality of special education needs with other facets of students' identities: race, income, and gender. These fact sheets provide demographic analyses of exceptionality categories, placement (ISP or regular classes) as well as information on student achievement, outcomes, and pathways. Together they highlight that students with special education needs are diverse and illustrate some of the relationships between special education needs and other aspects of identity.
Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement
Discussing a multidisciplinary team approach to work collaboratively across the Board to support Black students, this report presents an overview of how connections with families and community can be organized to improve and enhance family engagement and involvement in schools. This report also summarizes research and recommendations offered by students through their experiences in various Centre programs and initiatives, which can further assist with academic success and improved well-being in TDSB schools.
School Choice and Student Interest Program Admission Policies and Practices
To support the implementation and monitoring of Policy P100 an analysis of demographic data of students’ enrolled in Central Student Interest (CSIP) is ongoing. This preliminary report highlights that after the first year of the central application process for secondary CSIP, it is evident that racial proportions have shifted toward greater representation.
Safe and Caring Schools Report
The annual Caring and Safe Schools Report presents an overall summary and an analysis of the suspensions and expulsions that occurred in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) during the 2022-2023 school year. The data presented in this report is a valuable tool for helping schools foster a positive learning culture and support evidence-based decision making and accountability.
Toronto District School Board 2023-2026, Mental Health and Addiction Strategy
This report outlines the TDSB 2023-2026 Mental Health and Addiction Strategy. The Strategy’s objectives were informed by consultation with students, staff, parents/caregivers/guardians, school councils, parent/caregiver/guardian committees, and community groups; along with additional data from the TDSB 2023 Student Census and other mental health data from Centre of Addiction for Mental Health (CAMH), the City of Toronto and the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) also supported the Strategy objectives. This Strategy grounds the continuation of creating mentally healthy schools which supports every student to achieve success and integrates their intersecting identities.
