The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is facing calls for a public inquiry into events that might have contributed to the suicide of Richard Bilkszto, a former principal who was suing the board for alleged bullying during a diversity, equity, and inclusion training (DEI) workshop.
The Toronto School Administrator’s Association (TSAA) issued a July 24 statement calling for an investigation and demanded that an independent and impartial investigator be appointed by Ontario’s Minister of Education “to conduct a thorough inquiry into the concerns raised” by Mr. Bilkszto before his death.
