The Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB, known as English-language Public District School Board No. 15 prior to 1999) administers public school education for students in a large area of central Ontario, Canada, including the municipalities of the City of Kawartha Lakes, Haliburton County, and the District Municipality of Muskoka. It manages 41 elementary schools, 7 secondary schools and 7 Adult Education and Training Centres.
History
In 1999 the Victoria County Board of Education, Muskoka Board of Education, and the Haliburton County Board of Education were amalgamated into the Trillium Lakelands District School Board.
The Trillium Lakelands District School Board was involved in a landmark legal decision in Ontario, Canada, regarding the responsibility of school boards for sexual abuse of students. On June 30, 2021, Justice Salmers of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice found the Trillium Lakelands District School Board vicariously liable in a historical sexual abuse lawsuit. The case related to the sexual abuse of a student by a former teacher, Royce Galon Willamson, dating back to the 1980s. Williamson was the victim's music teacher. The school board alone was ordered to pay over $500,000 to compensate the victim.
