If this is the conclusion of the Task Force, then the TDSB needs a new task force.

Specialized programs can make the difference between kids being engaged and learning at school or just attending school.

I live in oakville and I only came to the tdsb to streamline my education, so I could go into performance with a leg up. To ‘phase out’ specialized schools is to take away this elevated chance from students all over Canada. This isn’t about equity. I made the choice to travel for an hour every morning to come here as did so many others in my class. If you take out schools like Etobicoke School of the Arts you are weakening toronto’s future artists and performers.

These programs are invaluable and our students have shown themselves to be world class. Cancelling them would be a huge disservice to young people in Toronto.

You can’t just shut down programs cause people who didn’t get in are complaining if they didn’t get in then they didn’t get in they can find somewhere else, by taking it away you are taking away the kids who have gotten in the ability to learn at that school and to follow there dreams through the specialized program don’t shut it down

This change is absolutely ridiculous and the tdsb board more so for trying to implement this new rule.
