Last month, the Ontario Ministry of Education ended its supervision of the Peel District School Board, restoring governing powers to the elected Board of Trustees. The board was placed under supervision following reports of systemic discrimination, including antiBlack racism and Islamophobia, as well as governance issues at the school board. We discuss the end of the supervision and whether the PDSB is on the right track in its effort to combat discrimination.
