Consultation
Thank you to all who participated by providing feedback to the school year calendar. This process concluded on January 23.
Each year, school boards in Ontario must prepare, adopt, and submit a school year calendar to the Ministry of Education that is drafted in accordance with the Education Act and Regulation 304 – School Year Calendar. Public consultation is part of the process for gaining the Ministry’s approval of the school year calendar.
