Toronto Ontario Canada Business directory The Toronto Public School Board (TPSB) was created in 1847 to oversee elementary education in Toronto. However the date of creation of the board is also given as 1850 as this was when trustee elections under a ward system started. Legislation toward the creation of local public school boards began with the School Act of 1844 which stipulated municipal contributions toward the salaries of teachers the Toronto Public School Board continued to govern the city's elementary schools until 1904 when following a city referendum it was merged with the Collegiate Institute Board which oversaw the city's secondary schools and the Technical School Board which oversaw the Toronto Technical School to form the Toronto Board of Education Six trustees were appointed to the original 1847 board by the municipal council of Toronto to serve with the mayor the board was composed entirely of white men until the election of the first female trustee Augusta Stowe-Gullen in 1892 the board was created after the passage of the Common School Act of 1846 spearheaded by Egerton Ryerson architect of both publicly funded schooling and the residential school system the Act also called for the creation of a provincial normal school which would become the Toronto Normal School Prior to the 1846 Common School Act individual schools were governed by boards created under the Grammar School Act of 1807 and the Common Schools Act of 1816. Like all boards of education at the time the Toronto Public School Board was responsible for raising money to fund schools in addition to grants provided by the provincial government However they were not empowered to make these levies compulsory until the passage of the Common School Act in 1850 brought on in part by the closure of schools in Toronto in 1848 due to lack of funds. This act also allowed for the creation of separate schools boards in Ontario including racially segregated schools in Toronto the act allowed for the creation of a Catholic school board which would eventually become today's Toronto Catholic District School Board While elementary schooling across the province was not made free by law until 1871 the 1850 Common School Act allowed for individual boards to entirely fund their schools through public funds the Toronto Public School Board voted to do so in 1851 making elementary schooling in the city free Minutes from the first meetings of the Toronto Public School Board have been preserved by the Toronto District School Board Museum and Archives Schools of the Toronto Public School Board, 9.2 Waterways 1 History Toronto Ontario Canada Business directory Toronto Marlies AHL Ice hockey Coca-Cola Coliseum 2005 1 (last in 2018). . . .
