Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board


The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board is the separate school board that oversees 148 Catholic school facilities throughout Peel Region and Dufferin County. It employs roughly 5,000 teachers; about 3,000 at the elementary level, and the remaining 2,000 at the secondary school and continuing education level, for 90,000 students.
Its headquarters is on Matheson Boulevard West in Mississauga. The board was previously known as the Dufferin-Peel Separate School Board before 1998.

History

The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board is the successor to The Dufferin-Peel Separate School Board, which was established in 1969 by the merger of eight small separate boards.
As of 1986 the Dufferin-Peel Separate School Board was Ontario's second largest Catholic school board. On January 1, 1998, the DPSSB was renamed to DPCDSB and its French schools within the board became part of the Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud.
By 1999 the district had a co-operative transportation service with the Peel District School Board. During that year its school operation costs were $4.65 per square foot. The funding guidelines by a ministry were $5.20.
Around the time of the DPSSB's existence, the board operated six francophone schools.

Schools

As of 1999, there is one dual DPCDSB-Peel District School Board Catholic-secular public school.
