Even with the merger's, I think the solution to the mismanagement issues of the TDSB is
1.) Abolish the Trustee system and follow the Australian model of the public school system where every school in Toronto should have its own board that includes staff, parents, business, and other community members.
2)Decentralize/Abolish the Ontario Curriculum and let every Public school have its own curriculum as long as they teach the mandatory subjects (Language Arts, Math, Science, History, Civics, Geography, and the Arts).
This way, it will compete with the private schools!
Private schools don't necessarily have their own boards, only the larger and more well established ones. But every school in Ontario that's granting Ontario credits has to follow Ontario curriculum. Private schools aren't teaching a different curriculum, and there's actually more oversight in place to ensure private schools are following ministry guidelines than there is for public schools.
