Control of this board in Toronto was then subsumed under a provincial Board of Education in 1824 itself merged into the Council of King's College a body charged with obtaining a university for the province In 1831 Upper Canada College was created to replace the Home District Grammar School with state funding in the form of an initial crown lands grant of 6,000 acres later supplemented by an additional 60,000 acres in contrast common schools in this era the equivalent of today's elementary schools were woefully underfunded Funding for the schools was derived from the sale of crown lands but the lands chosen to support education were undesirable and couldn't command a high enough price to sustain the common schools in addition to undesirability the acreage devoted to funding the common schools initially granted in 1816 was later reduced by half These deficiencies began to be addressed by the School Act of 1844 and culminated in the creation of local public school boards across the province including the Toronto Public School Board The Toronto Public School Board! . .
