Chris Spence Resigns from TDSB After Multiple Cases of Plagiarism Surface | news | Torontoist
Earlier this week Chris Spence, the Toronto District School Board’s director of education, confessed that he had plagiarized portions of an opinion piece he wrote for the Toronto Star. Since then several more worrisome instances of plagiarism in his writing have emerged. The TDSB trustees were scheduled to meet soon to discuss how to handle the situation, but we have just learned that Spence has pre-emptively resigned.
The full text of the statement sent out by TDSB chair Chris Bolton:
"Today, I have accepted the resignation of Director of Education Chris Spence from his position with the Toronto District School Board. This resignation is effective immediately.
Given the unexpected nature of this situation, we are taking steps to appoint an interim Director to ensure stability across the system.
As soon as information is available, staff, students and their families will be informed of any further developments.
Thank you.
