Canada’s largest school board finds new director
The Toronto District School Board has finally found a new Director of Education. Dr. Chris Spence, who is presently the director of the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, has been hired for a four-year term starting at the end of this school year.
Having seen his work first hand in Hamilton, I can say loudly that Toronto has made a great choice to lead their board.
That said, the Trustees of the TDSB must give Spence the leeway he needs to be success and not continue to micromanage the system.
