Three staff members who were placed on home assignment amid allegations of anti-Black racism at a Toronto elementary school have been cleared following a third-party review.

Published Friday, June 28, 2024 12:04PM EDTThe Toronto District School Board placed a principal, vice-principal and teacher at John Fisher Junior Public School, near Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue, on home assignment in March 2023 after a six-year-old Black student was allegedly separated from his peers and locked in a closet-sized room.

“I know this has been a challenging time for the school community and most of all for the people directly involved,” Superintendent of Education Roni Felsen says in the letter. “I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we have worked through this complex process. While lengthy, it was process that needed to be carefully completed given the allegations.”

The board said that the review then took “longer than anticipated” due to the large number of witnesses that had to be interviewed and some “unforeseen delays.”
