The board declined to respond to the allegations.
TDSB issued a statement commending Bilkszto for being a strong advocate for students, especially in adult and alternative education, over his 24-year career. "This tragic incident only underscores the need for greater accountability of school boards and the necessity to ensure professional training is free from harassment and intimidation," he said in a statement.Ī lawyer for Bilkszto said her client, who worked on contract with the TDSB after his retirement in 2019, died by suicide on July 13.
Minister Stephen Lecce called the allegations raised by Richard Bilkszto "serious and disturbing," announcing his staff would review what happened and bring him “options to reform professional training and strengthen accountability on school boards so this never happens again." Ontario’s education minister said his staff would review the allegations of a principal who died by suicide after launching a lawsuit against the Toronto District School Board for allegedly failing to support him when he was accused of racism during a professional training session.
