Thousands of dollars available to individual schools through fundraising have nothing to do with specialized programs. The children from these schools have the same access to the Claude Watson program, as an example, through auditions, as all other kids in TDSB. There is already an equal access in place. To make it even better, TDSB should offer transportation for talented children from far-off neighbourhoods to such specialized programs, if parents can't afford to drive them. At present, Claude Watson is not offering transportation.
