YCDSB Student Advocacy For 2026–2027

Education Should Never Be Political

Bring Back Academic U.S. Trips

TRAC YCDSB is advocating for the return of academic school-affiliated U.S. trips because this issue is about education, not just travel. Students put serious effort into DECA, drama, HOSA, music, civics, and leadership opportunities, and they should not lose the educational experiences tied to those programs.

Why Sign

Three Clear Reasons To Support Us

This campaign is about educational fairness, student effort, and restoring access to academic opportunities that existed before.

Only Board

TRAC YCDSB argues that YCDSB is the only major Ontario board taking a full academic U.S. trip ban approach, leaving its students behind their peers.

Lost Effort

Students invest months into projects, rehearsals, presentations, and competition prep, only to lose the educational experience they worked toward.

Trips Happened Before

YCDSB has hosted U.S. trips in the past, so this is a loss of academic opportunity that students previously had access to.
