TORONTO, April 28,
2024 /CNW/ - " Catholic school boards and their
dedicated staff work tirelessly in support of the mental, physical,
intellectual, and spiritual well-being of students in Catholic
schools," said Patrick Daly,
President of the Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association.
"We remain committed to working with Minister Lecce and other
provincial partners to support school boards in the implementation
of policies that reduce/eliminate the significant health risks
associated with addictive behavior, including vaping.
While not diminishing the complexity of cell phone use in
schools, we look forward to participating in discussions that focus
on practical strategies and the good of students," added Mr.
Daly.
The Ontario Catholic School Trustees' Association is the
provincial voice for publicly funded Catholic education. Founded in
1930, OCSTA represents the interests of Catholic school boards that
collectively educates approximately 600,000 students in
Ontario, from Junior Kindergarten
to Grade 12.
