Forty vice-principals won\u2019t be working in Toronto District School Board (TDSB) schools next year, with some full-time staff set to oversee two smaller schools, according to the board.<\/p>\n
The TDSB confirmed to CP24 on Wednesday that 28 roles introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic are being cut as provincial funding expired. <\/p>\n
There will also be 12 positions that will be eliminated due to a decline in enrolment, with roughly 5,000 fewer students expected in the new academic year. <\/p>\n
The TDSB did not disclose which schools exactly will be impacted, citing \u201cfluctuating\u201d staffing adjustments ahead of the 2026-27 school year. <\/p>\n
\u201cEvery spring, the TDSB goes through a process to determine how staff are placed in schools for the upcoming year,\u201d Ryan Bird of the TDSB said in an email. \u201cThis planning helps ensure that every school has the staff required to support the needs of students.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alongside job cuts, the board says smaller schools are moving toward a shared model, where full-time vice-principals will be responsible for two schools. <\/p>\n
Bird says that model has \u201csuccessfully been implemented\u201d at other school boards. <\/p>\n
