Province Appoints TVDSB Supervisor

Paul Boniferro will oversee all financial and operational decisions within the TVDSB.

TVDSB - A supervisor has been appointed for the Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB).

The province says Paul Boniferro will oversee all financial and operational decisions made for the time being. He is a labour and employment lawyer and he previously served as Deputy Attorney General of Ontario and Transition Supervisory Officer at the Ontario College of Teachers.

It was announced last week that the TVDSB would be placed under supervision due to recent financial mismanagement.

Minister of Education Paul Calandra says schools boards need to be held accountable in situations like this.

"Our government will be relentless in holding school boards accountable while ensuring students, parents and teachers have the resources they need for the best student achievement“ The Thames Valley board’s decision to send senior officials to a luxury retreat amid a multi-million-dollar deficit was unacceptable. We are taking over their operations to ensure proper management and accountability."

The province says Boniferro will implement savings measures and improve operational efficiencies within the TVDSB, all while providing the Ministry of Education with regular updates.
