Each year, school boards in Ontario are required to submit their school year calendars to the Ministry of Education on or before March 1. The Ministry provides guidelines to school boards for developing school year calendars, and Regulation 304 outlines the requirements for preparation and submission to the Ministry of Education.
Superintendent of School Effectiveness Dawn Finnegan presented the proposed school year calendar for 2024-2025 to the Board of Trustees. The proposed calendar was developed with special consideration given to serving the best interests of students, and through a consultation process which collected feedback from parents, staff, and other stakeholders. The proposed calendar was circulated through internal memo, as well as through the CDSBEO website and social media channels, and feedback was collected through an online survey.
“I am pleased to see that the consultation process was very thorough, and that so many of our stakeholders and community partners had an opportunity to share their input,” concluded Chair Wilson.
The final proposed 2024-2025 School Year Calendar was approved by the Board of Trustees.
