TDSB Eliminating 40 Vice-Principal Roles in 2026, Part of Restructuring

Is the TDSB Cutting Jobs?

Yes — the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) plans to eliminate approximately 40 vice-principal positions for the upcoming academic year.

Spokesperson Ryan Bird told CBC News in an email that 28 positions will be lost due to the end of one-time pandemic funding, while 12 positions will be cut due to declining enrolment.

The bombshell announcement comes months after Premier Doug Ford put the TDSB under provincial supervision in June.

Parents Concerned About the Cuts

Many parents are worried about the workforce reduction, which will require some schools to share vice-principals.
