Bill 98, also known as The Better Schools and Students Outcomes Bill, was unveiled in April with the goal of creating consistency and transparency across Ontario’s 72 school boards. Under the legislation, the government can set “provincial education priorities” and require boards to publicly post about their progress.
“These reforms include the new authority for our government to set binding priorities on school boards that focus on boosting student achievement focused on reading, writing and math. This sends a clear signal to Ontario’s school boards we’ve listened to the priorities of parents putting common sense at the centre of our education system.”
The government says it expects school boards to inform parents and guardians directly and the information must be posted in a “conspicuous location” in the main office of each school. Part of this will include engaging parents within the first and last two months of the school year. The plans will be shared publicly.
