Increasing the TDSB’s transparency and accountability to the public

Welcome to the Toronto District School Board’s new Open Data Webpage. Our Open Data Policy includes the Context, Action Plan and Associated Timeline, Resource Implications, and Communications Considerations.

The adoption and implementation of this policy ensures that the Toronto District School Board remains transparent in providing useful information to the public via our website.

During the development of our Open Data Policy, we consulted with our Student Senate and Student Councils in April and May of 2018. We consulted with the public in September and October of 2017. There were no substantial content changes as a result of those consultations.
