Overview
- Teachers, parents and labour allies rallied Tuesday at TDSB headquarters, with parents planning a separate rally at Bowmore on Wednesday.
- Two educators were fired and eight suspended without pay, and the principal and vice-principal were removed, affecting homeroom instruction for more than 200 students.
- A trustee who is also a Bowmore parent said the entire Grade 7–8 team is gone except for special education classes.
- The board has ordered an external audit of safety, rules and procedures, appointed new leadership and added staff supports, with security cameras to be installed.
- Reasons for the personnel actions remain undisclosed under privacy rules, as parents cite safety problems and a contentious shift to a single-teacher core model, and the teachers’ union pursues grievance arbitration.
