John Tertanhttp://www.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/ The York Region District School Board, also known as YRDSB, is the English-language public school board for York Regional Municipality located in Ontario, Canada. The York Region District School Board is currently the province's third largest school board, with an enrollment of over 115,000 students.[5] It is in the fastest-growing census division in Ontario and the third fastest growing in Canada.[4]
The public francophone (Conseil scolaire Viamonde), English Catholic (York Catholic District School Board), and French Catholic (Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud) communities of York Region also have their own publicly-funded school boards and schools that operate in the same area.

Governance
The YRDSB is governed by an elected board of trustees, whose election coincides with the municipal elections in Ontario held throughout the province every four years. The Board consists of 12 trustees, divided amongst the constituent municipalities based on population. The Chair and Vice-Chair of the Board are chosen by secret ballot of the trustees at the inaugural meeting in December.
The most senior staff member of the board is the Director of Education, to whom the Associate Director and all of the Superintendents report.
Programs
Besides the curriculum established by the Government of Ontario, the York Region District School Board places heavy emphasis on its Character Matters program. As well, due to the multicultural nature, and large immigrant population of students under the YRDSB, the Board established the Race Relations Advisory Committee, a standing committee of the board to advise the trustees on issues related to ethnocultural relations. The committee is made up of trustees, staff, community members and students.
Divisions
The school board is divided into four Community Education Centres (North, Central, East and West).[6] The centres represent communities as follows:
- North: Georgina; Whitchurch-Stouffville, and East Gwillimbury; Newmarket;
- Central: Aurora and King; Richmond Hill (2 trustees); and Vaughan;
- East: East Gwillimbury, and Whitchurch-Stouffville; Markham (3 trustees); and
- West: Maple; Vaughan; Woodbridge; Thornhill (2 trustees).
The school board teaches approximately 70 000 elementary and 40 000 secondary school students.
