Whereas, the Toronto District School Board has an annual budget funded primarily by education property taxes granted to the Board by the Ministry of Education;
Whereas, it is responsible for governance institutions to be proactive and to create policy frameworks rather than make decisions on an ad hoc basis;

That Board legal counsel report to the April 2010 regular board meeting on a recommended policy regarding direct or indirect coverage of legal expenses incurred by a candidate running for the position of Toronto District School Board Trustee whether successful or not.
That the report include advice on prohibiting the TDSB from covering legal costs incurred by a candidate, if elected to the Board, if the individual has been sued for libel or slander and settled or lost such law suit.
