The Toronto District School Board says it will lay off 218 central administration staff after enrolment has declined for years.
In a statement Monday, the TDSB said the cuts will not affect classroom staff. The board also said it will also eliminate an additional 91 vacant positions.
The board said the cuts are part of its attempts to modernize the number of central administration staff to ensure its resources remain in schools and classrooms.
“These changes are part of the TDSB’s broader efforts to protect classroom learning, support student achievement and restore long-term financial sustainability,” the statement reads.
The TDSB has been under provincial supervision since June.
CBC Toronto has reached out to CUPE Local 4400 and the Professional Student Services Personnel bargaining unit for comment.
