Ontario has passed a bill that allows the education minister to intervene when there are concerns over school boards’ activities.

Bill 33, the “Supporting Children and Students Act, 2025,” passed in Ontario’s legislature on Nov. 19. It permits the minister to direct an investigation into a school board, or to put a board under supervision.
