The Halton District School Board [3] serves public school students throughout Halton Region, including the municipalities of Burlington, [4] Halton Hills, [5] Milton [6] and Oakville. [7] Its administration area is to the southwest of the city of Toronto. In 2006-2007, it served almost 50,000 students, excluding those in adult, alternative, and Community Education programs.
Education in the former Halton County was previously governed by a framework of boards for various high school districts and public school districts associated with them. [8] In 1967, as a result of initiatives undertaken by then Minister of Education Bill Davis, work was begun to amalgamate all boards on a county-wide level throughout the Province, and such a move was recommended to the Halton County Council that year for its approval. [9] The move was opposed by the southern boards of education in Burlington and Oakville, [10] but that was overruled upon passage of mandatory legislation by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 1968. [11]
The Board was constituted as the Halton County Board of Education, which was established on January 1, 1969. [12] When the County was replaced by the Regional Municipality of Halton, the Board became the Halton Board of Education. [13]
As part of the province-wide restructuring of Ontario's school boards as a consequence of the passage of the Fewer School Boards Act, 1997, [14] the English-language Public District School Board No. 20 was created to take over the Region's schools. [15] It was merged with the former Board at the beginning of 1998, and was renamed as the "Halton District School Board" in 1999. [16]
The Board operates 76 elementary schools, and 17 secondary schools, which are organized into the following areas:

Education in Ontario comprises public and private primary and secondary schools and post-secondary institutions. Publicly funded elementary and secondary schools are administered by the Ontario Ministry of Education, while colleges and universities are administered by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. The current respective Ministers for each are Stephen Lecce and Ross Romano. The province's public education system is primarily funded by the Government of Ontario, with education in Canada falling almost entirely under provincial jurisdiction. There is no federal government department or agency involved in the formation or analysis of policy regarding education for most Canadians. Schools for Indigenous people in Canada with Indian status are the only schools that are funded federally, and although the schools receive more money per individual student than certain provinces, the amount also includes the operation and maintenance of school facilities, instructional services, students supports and staff. Most provincial allocations per students do not include the maintenance and operation of buildings, as most provincial governments offer additional grants.
