Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) recognizes and acknowledges its responsibilities regarding access to records and information, and the protection of privacy.
In addition to governing the protection of an individual’s personal information, the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) also supports the right of access to certain information within the custody and control of TLDSB.
There are many ways to access general information about the Board, including:
Students and parents/guardians can request access to their personal information held by the Board by contacting the principal of the school their child attends. Please be aware that while an individual has access rights to their own personal information and general records, they do not have access rights to information about other individuals.
While a student is under the age of 18 and not living independently, the parent/guardian retains a right of access to their child’s information. The principal will provide the information requested if the parent/guardian is legally entitled to receive a copy of it. Parents/guardians also have the right to request correction of any personal information that is believed to be inaccurate.
Note: there may be fees associated with accessing information.
An FOI request is a formal request for access to information, made under MFIPPA, that is in the custody or control of the Board. An FOI request is generally a request for information that may be particularly complex, broad, or sensitive. For example, exemptions to the disclosure may apply (i.e. third-party information, solicitor-client privilege, etc.).
Complete the Access to Information Request Form and provide the mandatory non-refundable application fee of $5, which can be made by cheque payable to:

If fees are anticipated to exceed $100, you will receive a fee estimate and be requested to supply a 50 percent deposit before the search for records begins.
Personal information is collected pursuant to the Authority of the Education Act R.S.O., 1990, c.E.2 and the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.M56 and may be used as necessary for board operations, school programs, education services and student records.
