"This school needs stable leadership. Every school needs stable leadership. The lifeblood of the school is the principal," TDSB spokesperson Shari Schwartz-Maltz said.Schwartz-Maltz said she could not disclose why the current principal and other staff were absent. She added that on Wednesday, there were 13 "unfilled" jobs at the school, located near Keele Street and Rogers Road.

"There has been a commitment from everybody from the board to put into place stable leadership," she said, noting that the board has hired a retired principal to temporarily assume the position. "The school is doing its best to arrange for coverage of classes by other staff members and administrators."

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, TDSB officials confirmed that there was an incident in the hallway last week and that it is under investigation. When asked about a private security guard being posted at the school, Lennon said it is a temporary measure.

This is George Harvey not York Memo. I went there a long time ago and it was rough school then

Well well well. This is what happens when your school district listens to the SJW/woke/anti-cop activists and got rid of police officers. Now the staff and students don’t feel safe. Is this what we want folks?

Merger should of never happened, put york memo students back for Scarlett or somewhere else. Sad when u get phone calls from your child saying there hiding somewhere because fights are happening and security is just watching

Sflecce this one is your department fordnation get your rock star education minister to follow up

Excuse me, when did they start calling it York Memo?! It will forever be George Harvey!

So many schools in Toronto need help right now

Return the TPS School Resource Officers. I seem to recall the majority of staff members AND students wanted them to remain. The trustees wanted them gone. Can we come to the end of caving in to activists?

The York Memo and George Harvey culture is completely different. This was a terrible decision made for all the wrong reasons. One who knows the history and culture of these schools saw this coming. I feel for the students.

This is a school where the fire was put up

Remember when we had police in schools building positive relationships? This is on the school boards themselves as they kicked them out.

Many Teachers are useless anyhow! Base their pay on performances!

Things has changed since they took cops out of schools.

Temporary principal appointed after mass work refusals at Toronto schoolThe Toronto District School Board has appointed a temporary principal at York Memorial Collegiate Institute after several members of the school's administration, including the current principal, did not show up for work amid apparent safety issues. Sure...let them go!! If they don't need a job! But was OK 2 years no work but they got paid? Perhaps if schools and teachers had more actual authority in a classroom things would be better go and work in construction...
