HOW SCHOOL GENERATED FUNDING REINFORCES A TWO-TIER EDUCATION SYSTEM IN ONTARIOPizzoferrato, Sherell 23 May 2014 (has links)
This thesis examines School Generated Funding (SGF) within the Toronto
District School (TDSB) to see if SGF is reinforcing a two-tier education system. Five
sources of data were analyzed: The SGF Record of the TDSB from 2008-2009, The
Preliminary School Budget from 2010-2011, EQAO test results from 2008 to 2009, The
Learning Opportunity Index (LOI) from 2009, and three socio-economic status factors
(income, education and occupation) using the Toronto Wards Profiles. Using the SGF
record, twenty green schools (schools that raised the most SGF, amounting to $4,043,837)
were compared, using the five sources of data against twenty red schools (schools that
raised the least amount of SGF, amounting to $109,885). Two recommendations have
been suggested: SGF be capped at a median amount throughout the TDSB
and
extra
funding be put into a funding account for the TDSB to disperse to schools that need it.

Segregation versus Self-determination: A Black and White Debate on Canada's First Africentric SchoolChen, Shaun Sheng Yuan 02 June 2011 (has links)
The racialized realities faced by Black students provide an impetus to examine the controversy over Canada's first Africentric Alternative School, approved on January 29, 2008 by the Toronto District School Board. Newspaper articles, editorials and letters to the editor, as well as speeches by delegations and trustees, provide a rich snapshot of the arguments put forth in the heated political debate. Through the lens of equity and critical race theory, the diverse and divergent stances taken by both proponents and opponents of the school are analysed and understood. A conceptual framework of hidden and public transcripts (Scott, 1990) is used to distinguish arguments that reflect on the lived experiences of Black students from those that reiterate the dominant discourses of liberal democratic societies. The findings emerge as three opposing sets of themes that reveal a transcript reflective of the ongoing salience of racism within ostensibly liberal claims to racial equality.

Racialized Terror and the Colour Line: Racial Profiling and Policing Headwear in Schools / Terreur racialisées et la ligne de couleur: le profilage racial et Couvre-chef de police dans les écolesPuddicombe, Brian 31 May 2011 (has links)
Through the simple action of covering one’s head with the wrong type of apparel, at the wrong time, and in the wrong spaces, Black and racialized youth exist in a hostile environment where their identities are reconstructed and relabeled according to dominant economic-political needs. This study interrogates and ruptures dominant notions of how space, identity and power are constructed, confronted, engaged, negotiated and resisted by Black and racialized youth in greater Toronto Area (GTA) schools. In an atmosphere of zero-tolerance toward policing youth violence, the anti-gang focus of the Safe Schools headwear policies institutionalize a ‘colour-coded’ link between crime, violence and race. Through ethnographic narrative inquiry this study critically interrogates the multiplicity of ways how the collision between zero-tolerance approaches toward regulating school violence and the policing of specific types of headwear and bodies results in differential outcomes and impacts on Black students and other racialized groups.

Multiculturalism and the De-politicization of Blackness in Canada: the case of FLOW 93.5 FMMcKenzie, Kisrene 11 December 2009 (has links)
This thesis presents a case study of Canada’s first Black owned radio station, FLOW 93.5 FM, to demonstrate how official multiculturalism, in its formulation and implementation, negates Canada’s history of slavery and racial inequality. As a response to diversity, multiculturalism shifts the focus away from racial inequality to cultural difference. Consequently, Black self-determination is unauthorized. By investigating FLOW’s radio license applications, programming and advertisements, this thesis reveals just how the vision of a Black focus radio station dissolved in order to fit the practical and ideological framework of multiculturalism so that Blackness could be easily commodified. This thesis concludes that FLOW is not a Black radio station but instead is a multicultural radio station – one that specifically markets a de-politicized Blackness. As a result, multiculturalism poses serious consequences for imagining and engaging with Blackness as a politics that may address the needs of Black communities in Canada.
