Robin Pilkey, the chair of the Toronto District School Board, says the province’s recently introduced new sex-ed curriculum is the cause of declining enrolment. She said that perhaps 2,500 of the 3,500 fewer enrolments next year are the result of the 2015 changes in this curriculum. As a result the TDSB will cut as many as 100 teaching positions and make other staff reductions, Enrolment however has been declined over a period of years. Ms Pilkey made her remarks to the CBC Metro Morning program. The board has previously said the decline was a result of fewer children because of an aging population.
