Our Guiding Principles

The Education Act is clear that the primary responsibility of every school board is to promote student achievement and well-being. Yet, for too long, trustees and senior administrators at the Toronto District School Board have prioritized ideological pet projects—removing police from schools and lottery-based admissions—while neglecting urgent issues in declining math scores and rising school violence.

Toronto families deserve better. The TDSB is Canada’s largest school board and one of the largest in North America. It is not setting the example it should. Scandal after scandal. Embarrassment after embarrassment.

For more than two years, we have raised these concerns in the media and with elected officials. But there is more we can do. Student-focused trustees are outnumbered at the board. We can address the root cause of the TDSB’s rot by electing more trustees in the 2026 municipal elections who are fully committed to what matters most: student learning, safety, and success in the classroom.

Young people are our future. And we owe it to the next generation to have good, quality public education in Canada’s largest city. That starts with electing common sense trustees with fiscal prudence who will relentlessly champion student achievement.
