As Ont. takes over school boards, trustees are under scrutiny. What do they do and what happens without them?

AI Briefing

• – Ontario's school boards are responsible for setting policies, appointing principals and superintendents, and overseeing budgeting and resource allocation.
• – Without a trustee, decision-making authority would likely fall to the Ministry of Education, which could lead to a more centralized approach to education policy.
• – The Ontario government may also need to take on more responsibility for funding and resource allocation, potentially leading to a more standardized model across the province.
