Education Minister Paul Calandra announced Wednesday he was immediately taking over the Peel District School Board (PDSB), pointing to deficits and a plan to layoff teachers. He said he was putting York Catholic District School Board — which was flagged last year internally as a problem — on notice, with two weeks to argue against a supervisor being sent there, too. He said the board had two weeks to address those concerns, or supervision would continue long-term. Calandra has already placed six other school boards under supervision, including Toronto public, Toronto Catholic, Ottawa-Carleton, and Dufferin-Peel Catholic.
