PODCAST: The Daily Review for Wed. April 23rd, 2025

As you heard earlier in today’s program, the province is cracking down on the financial accountability of provincial school boards. Ottawa’s largest school board is one of the biggest names on this list, and it’s not good news if they fail the next steps. In a statement released by the Ministry of Education, an investigator will be assigned to validate the school board’s current financial position. Then, they will recommend whether the Ministry should take charge of the situation. Kristy Cameron chats with OCDSB Trustee Lynn Scott on today’s Ottawa Now. She is the Chair of the Board and represents schools in West Carleton-March, Stittsville, and Rideau-Jock. Scott says the school board will fully cooperate with the pending investigation, maintaining their commitment to financial accountability and transparency in the process.

Ottawa Now - OCDSB to 'fully cooperate' with province's financial investigation

The Ford government says it is launching a financial investigation into Ottawa’s largest school board, with overtures about the province possibly taking control of the OCDSB. In a statement released today, the Ministry of Education says an investigator will validate the school board’s current financial position. Then, they will recommend whether the Ministry should take charge or not. When asked about their reasons for doing this, the province cited years of budget deficits and depleted reserves. Education Minister Paul Calandra joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
