In the latest in our series of live online discussions co-hosted with our partners at the Globe and Mail, at 5 p.m. today, Thursday, Torontoist will be joined by the Toronto District School Board’s new Education Director, Chris Spence—and he’ll be taking your questions. Though Spence is proposing a whole host of changes (“more parental engagement in education, ‘full-service schools’ with facilities to support students’ families, better digital technology in classrooms, green-energy initiatives, and a renewed effort to stem losses of 4,000 students a year by hiring a marketing director,” as the Globe sums it up) he’s most in the news for proposing an all-male elementary school.
