Ontario's school board takeovers are harming anti-Black racism efforts by eliminating equity roles and community oversight, Black trustees warn.

Black trustees in Ontario say provincial takeovers of school boards are undermining anti-Black racism efforts by removing elected leaders, cutting equity staff, and suspending racial equity committees. They warn these changes weaken oversight of systemic discrimination and reduce community input, urging the government to maintain equity offices, fund anti-racism initiatives, ensure transparent reporting on racial outcomes, and respond to a 2024 human rights report.
