Parents now have access to updated data on the condition of our schools.
This information is posted on the 吃瓜黑料网 website annually consistent with our commitment to increase transparency and accountability. It also aligns with the 吃瓜黑料网鈥檚 Open Data initiative aimed to implement an online platform where the public can access published Board data. The data corresponds to the 2023聽calendar year.
In 2016, the 吃瓜黑料网 (吃瓜黑料网) became, what is thought to be, the first school board in Ontario to post each school鈥檚 and Renewal Needs Backlog.

How to View the Data
You can find the information for your school by name or address by visiting our 聽page. On each individual school web page you will see a 鈥漅enewal Needs and FCI鈥� link in the navigation menu on the left side of the page. That link will take you directly to the Renewal Needs Backlog (list of school building repairs) and the Facility Condition Index rating.
Please note that some of the items that would compromise the security of our buildings were redacted. These items include, but are not limited to, security systems and fire alarms.
