In God’s Image: Growing in Knowledge, with Justice and Hope.

Nurturing the faith development and academic excellence of our Catholic learning community through the love of God, neighbour, and self.

The TCDSB is governed by 12 elected Trustees of the Board and 2 Student Trustees.  

Our policies are administered by the Direct​or of Education​ and the Director's designates. 

Learn about our governance:

A very significant role and responsibility of the Board of Trustees is to work with the Director to design the annual performance appraisal plan, to conduct the review, to evaluate the Director’s performance, to give the director feedback and to begin the cycle again for the following year.

The achievement of the required actions throughout the appraisal cycle is reported to the Minister of Education and to the Toronto Catholic District School Board Community by posting here on the TCDSB Website.

The required attestation for the 2024-2025 appraisal cycle was sent to the Honourable Minister of Education, Mr. Todd Smith, on July 25, 2024.

The By-Laws of the TCDSB regulate the powers and responsibilities of the Board, its committees and officers.

• By-Law 175

• Catholic School Parent Council (CSPC) By-Laws Template

Members of the public who are interested in Catholic education are welcome to attend public sessions of our Board and Committee meetings.

Our budget process is largely about balancing the ongoing cost pressures associated with operating a large urban school board and ensuring that students receive the best possible environment to encourage achievement and well-being through the lens of Catholic Faith.

We are one of the largest employers in Toronto and are looking for talented and passionate staff to join our team.
