The TDSB had planned to provide three windows throughout the academic year for students to switch between virtual and in-person learning and vice versa but in a letter sent to secondary school administrators on Tuesday the board said that it now believes that the continued expansion of its virtual school is an “untenable proposition.”
The board says that as a result it has decided to not allow any more students to switch to its virtual school for quadmester 2 and will instead leave it to principals to choose a virtual learning model that can be delivered at the school level. In the letter, the board said that the decision was made to stave off the need for the additional movement of staff, something that it said would have required brick and mortar schools to collapse classes and sections.
“Ultimately, this decision was made to prevent a large-scale reorganization of teachers, the re-timetabling of students, and to maintain as much stability in our schools as possible,” the letter says. There are currently 18,000 secondary school students enrolled in the TDSB’s centralized virtual school.
