Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox school district The Etobicoke Board of Education (EBE commonly known as School District 12), officially known as the Board of Education for the City of Etobicoke is the former public-secular school board administering the schools of Etobicoke, Ontario, headquartered in the Etobicoke Civic Centre.[1] In 1998, it was merged into the Toronto District School Board. The former EBE offices remain in use today by the TDSB as the West Education Office.

History

Шаблон:Expand section The Etobicoke Board of Education was formed in 1949. Around that period the district had over 50,000 students.[2] The board expanded through the mergers of three small lakeside municipalities — the Village of Long Branch, the Town of New Toronto, and the Town of Mimico — to form the borough of Etobicoke in 1967.

In its lifetime the district has offered continuing education programs. Furthermore, it had 52 elementary schools, nine of which included the French Immersion Program.[3] After an increasing in advertising of the programs, by January 1988 the district's programs had an increase of students.[4]

In January 1985 65 secretaries in elementary schools of the district went on strike. At the time the Etobicoke secretaries earned $11.07 hourly or $387.52 weekly, while Toronto Board of Education secretaries earned $11.96 hourly or $418.49 weekly.[5]

In April 1990 the district increased its tax rate by 9.9 percent, meaning each Etobicoke homeowner would be paying $130 more in school taxes. At the time, the district had a $202.3 million operating budget.[6]

In 1991 the district was attempting to have its early French immersion program closed effective 1992.[7]

Leasing of campuses to separate board

In 1986, 9 of the 10 Etobicoke trustees rejected the Metropolitan Separate School Board or MSSB (now the Toronto Catholic District School Board)'s application to lease the Parkview Junior School.[8] The MSSB wanted 400 students of the Christ the King School to attend classes at the campus.[9] EBE had also leased three secondary school sites and five elementary school properties to the MSSB.[10]

For a brief period in 1985, the MSSB occupied the Sunnylea Junior School building near Bloor Street West and Royal Oak Road, calling it Josyf Cardinal Slipyj Catholic School. The school had Eastern Rite Catholicism classes and Ukrainian language heritage classes.[11] The board had evicted the MSSB from the Sunnylea building when the lease expired in July 1990 it stated that south Etobicoke neighborhoods have a shortage of classrooms, so it wanted to use the school building. Surveys from the board projected that Sunnylea would have 200 students in 1994. Area Catholic residents expressed opposition to the proposal. Later the Slipyj school was relocated to the West Deane Junior School building which was closed in 1984.[10]
