Ottawa School Board Trustees Vote on Special Needs Programs and Boundary Changes

Ottawa's trustees have made some significant decisions regarding the city's school board. According to recent reports, trustees have chosen to keep the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board's (OCDSB) special needs programs intact. This decision comes after a proposal to phase out these programs was rejected.

In addition to this, the trustees have voted to phase out alternative schools in the area. This decision is part of a larger plan to make changes to the board's boundaries.

These changes are expected to have a significant impact on the community, particularly for families with special needs children. The OCDSB is one of the largest school boards in the city, and these decisions will likely be closely watched by parents and educators alike.

It's worth noting that the decision to keep the special needs programs intact is a significant victory for advocates who have been fighting to preserve these programs. The rejection of the proposal to phase out these programs is a testament to the hard work and dedication of these advocates.
