By Rosalind Russell – Trustees on local school boards will be looking at ways to introduce a new government requirement in their jurisdictions.
The Ford government will be requiring school boards to establish Student and Family Support Offices.
Officials say they’ll give parents and guardians a clear and effective way to get help regarding their child’s education all while acting as an additional way to help families get answers on broader community concerns and contentious or complex issues that need to be addressed.
The province says they’ll be opening five supervised school boards in southern Ontario as early as January while all other school boards, including our local ones, are expected to submit a report by the end of March outlining how the offices will be established for the 2026-2027 school year.
