Ontario plans to replace elected school boards with appointed experts over concerns about financial mismanagement.
Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra proposes replacing elected school board trustees with appointed experts, citing financial mismanagement, and has already placed supervisors over five major boards.
Support comes from some, like Upper Canada District School Board chair Jamie Schoular, who argue appointed members with operational expertise would improve accountability and long-term planning.
However, critics including education unions and the Canadian School Boards Association warn the move undermines local democracy, weakens community representation, and fails to address core issues like class size and student supports.
The debate centers on balancing efficiency with democratic participation in public education.
