Ontario 's largest school board asked to close and consolidate schools in the face of a rough financial picture.
The Toronto District School Board wrote to the Ford government in April asking to be allowed to shutter schools where needed.
Government documents show a moratorium on school closures is forcing educators to spend money on buildings that would otherwise be shuttered.
The number of boards posting a deficit grew from 11 to 29 per cent between 2020 and 2022-23 .
Ontario NDP education critic Chandra Pasma said growing deficits were forcing boards to make difficult decisions.
Pasma: School boards are in good financial health, with an accumulated surplus of $1.3 billion .
She said boards had tried to keep cuts away from the classroom in recent years but at the cost of other important budget lines.
