Toronto Board of Ed shafting alternative schools

Laura James, Co-Chair of the Toronto Alternative Primary School Council is getting the runaround from the Toronto District School Board, who have all but declared war on alternative education in the city. She's looking for help from other people involved in Toronto's alternative schools in refuting the Board's claims.

We are being told by the TDSB that our current council "set up" is not recognized by the Board but yet my calls to several "regular" schools indicate that many others schools have separate Incorp entities / charities that fundraise the way we do and that the School Advisory Council is for Policy only.

I would like to get some feedback on how other "Alternative Schools" are set up.
