安大略省计划到2026年结束英国公立学校的当选学校托管人,理由是投票率低、效率低,同时保留他们参加天主教和法语委员会。 Ontario plans to end elected school trustees in English public schools by 2026, citing low turnout and inefficiency, while keeping them for Catholic and French boards.

安大略教育部长Paul Calandra表示,他将在2026年初宣布改变学校董事会,这表明英国公立学校董事会中可能取消当选董事,这些董事会没有宪法保护。 Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra says he will announce changes to school board trustees in early 2026, signaling a likely elimination of elected trustees in English public school boards, which have no constitutional protection. 他列举了选民投票率低和缺乏证据证明受托人对管理该省430亿美元的教育预算至关重要。 He cited low voter turnout and lack of evidence that trustees are essential for managing the province’s $43-billion education budget. 天主教董事会和法国天主教董事会将在教派事务中保留角色。 Catholic and French board trustees will retain roles in denominational matters. 没有计划关闭董事会、合并或特许学校。 No board closures, mergers, or charter schools are planned. 所有董事会必须在2026年9月之前设立学生和家庭支助办公室,集中处理家长关心的问题。 All boards must establish Student and Family Support Offices by September 2026 to centralize parent concerns. 批评者称这一举动不民主,并警告它可能损害对有特殊需要的学生的倡导。 Critics call the move undemocratic and warn it could harm advocacy for students with special needs. 该省已经控制了6个业绩不佳的董事会,没有计划在那里恢复托管人。 The province has taken control of six underperforming boards, with no plans to restore trustees there.
