School boards suspend use of Bill Blair-linked charitable program over privacy concerns

The program, which has since rebranded as ComKids, provides students with laptops in exchange for the 12- and 13-year-old students writing blogs and participating in sessions where they were paired with police officers. The complaint only identifies incidents from the 2018-19 school year.

Parents said they are currently drafting a second complaint that will be sent to the Catholic school board, which already suspended their participation in the program. TDSB spokesperson Ryan Bird also confirmed they have "currently paused participation in the program."Blair still serves as honorary chair of the organization and, according to a statement from his office, "helped establish" the program in 1998. However, his office maintains that his involvement was "strictly limited to an Honourary role only."

Mark Zwicker, the president and CEO of ComKids, said his charity is "aware of the report" but has "not reviewed its contents."
