Board of Trustees

School board trustees are elected officials who are supposed to serve the community and, above all, students.

Parents of Black Children has taken the time to evaluate the performance of trustees, record any instances of anti-Black racism, and also share information about trustees who are strong advocates.

While trustees with limited information may not have instances of anti-Black racism or strong advocacy that ends up in the news, their silence speaks volumes. Silence is complicity in the harm perpetuated against Black students and their families in Ontario schools. Trustees must actively stand up for what is right and make their support for the the fight against anti-Black racism in Ontario schools known.

Please note that this list is not exhaustive and is constantly evolving. If you have information to share about the conduct of trustees, please email us at [email protected]

**NOTE** In 2020 the DDSB fired its first ever integrity commissioner after she cautioned trustees against obstructing her work. Former trustee Ashley Noble resigned in protest. PoBC therefore has deep concerns about the ability of any of the DDSB Board of Trustees to operate in the best interests of Black and other racialized students. Click here for more.
