The York Region District School Board office in Aurora, Ont. on Feb 22, 2016.

They allege the incidents were repeatedly reported to officials at his Newmarket, Ont., high school, but the complaints were not properly investigated. "It is heartbreaking to see anti-black racism manifest itself in any form, particularly through violence. Such actions are not acceptable in our schools or communities," Louise Sirisko said in the statement.

It is heartbreaking to see anti-black racism manifest itself in any form, particularly through violence.""In spite of a safe schools policy, a zero-tolerance policy on bullying and physical aggression, and an anti-racism policy, no one at the YRDSB took action to protect E.H. In fact, YRDSB's actions in suspending E.H., added insult to injury," the statement of claim says.

The following month, E.H. was suspended again for being in a fight, when in fact he was defending himself from his attackers, the document alleges. The school would not confirm whether the other students were disciplined, the family claims. The same thing happened again a few weeks later, it says.On several occasions, E.H.'s mother asked that he be transferred to another school, but that request was denied, the document says.

Toronto school board could cut jobs, end some busing after funding cutsCanada's largest school board says it may have to eliminate jobs, some programs and end some student busing to address a multimillion-dollar funding gap created by provincial cuts. The TDSB is targeting students and employees yet leaving non academic 'social programs' untouched. Apparently the TDSB believes that an academic education is secondary to pushing agendas. I am sure their equity initiatives will survive along with all other special interest SJ initiatives that are ideologically-driven instead of related to actual student achievement. How many superintendents are being let go? Facilitators?
