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.
