The TDSB’s renewed Multi-Year Strategic Plan Inspiring Minds and Shaping Futures, sets the direction and identifies system goals for the next four years (2024-2028). The MYSP is built on the foundation of equity and a commitment to implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action.
The renewed MYSP (2024-2028) has five strategic directions: Truth and Reconciliation, Achieve, Thrive, Belong and Revitalize.
