Canoe.ca 29 January 2008  Africentric school decision tonight A decision concerning whether to establish Africentric Schools is to be made tonight by Toronto District School Board Trustees. The TDSB proposes an Africentric school be opened in September of next year. Also proposed are pilot projects in three schools starting this September. Trustees will hear and respond to deputations from 17 people, before debating and deciding. They'll also discuss an alternative proposal by Trustee Josh Matlow. He suggests rather than opening an Africentric school, the board focus on increasing cultural studies of a whole host of heritage groups in existing schools in the regular curriculum and in optional classes. The meeting will be broadcast on CFRB 10-10 between 6 and 8pm.

TDSB Staff Recommend Black-Focused School
TORONTO/AM640 TORONTO - The controversy over black-focused schools in Toronto is heating up once again. Toronto District School Board senior staff are recommending creating at least one black-focused school in Toronto's northwest end, and implementing black-focused curriculum at three others. The schools would be open to all students. Budget Chief and former School Board Chair Shelley Carroll tells AM 640 Toronto's John Downs show that it's an idea worth serious consideration. "The time has come, we have to do something. They've been looking at it for some time and they're backing it up with serious data." But School Board Trustee Josh Matlow disagrees, saying schools should be preparing students for the real world. "I think it narrows their academic experience...that's not the real world in Canada. Canada's about coming together, working together and learning about each other." The board will decide whether to move ahead with the idea at the end of the month. 16 January 2008 AM 640 Toronto Radio-The John Downs Show Shelley Carroll Toronto City Councilor, former Toronto District School Board Chair
