'''Allegations of Unpatriotic Actions : (06/10/2024)''' Current Director of Education John Dance has recently been under scrutiny for his decision to '''<u>remove the Canadian National Flag</u>''' from all schools in the Simcoe County District School Board (116 in total) and raise another flag in its place. Despite multiple news articles from local stations stating the upset in the community as well as students in the schools, he has yet to respond and continues with the unpatriotic mandate of the flags removal. |

The first occurrence of the Canadian flag being replaced was in June of 2023. When questioned about the decision, The Simcoe County District School Board sited the reason to be they were following the recommendation of the Canadian Legion.* The previous year the [[Royal Canadian Legion]] reminded the school board of Canada's National Flag protocol as there were multiple flags being flown on the same poles out front of schools. ''(The National Flag always be flown on its own flagpole, with the sleeve nearest to the pole. The canton should be placed in the position nearest the top of the flagpole or mast. It is improper to fly the National Flag with another flag, of any type, on the same flagpole).'' In response to this the following year, all of the schools with in Simcoe County District School Board, ''as mandated by Director John Dance,'' then removed the Canadian Flag all together in favour of another flag.* Although the majority of the community response has been to return the Canadian flag to the schools, Director John Dance still has yet to acknowledge or respond to the outrage. {{Infobox school district |

Simcoe County District School Board (SCDSB, known as English-language Public District School Board No. 17 and Simcoe County Board Of Education prior to 1999[1]) is an Ontario, Canada, English speaking public school board, serving Simcoe County. The schools and learning centres are branched throughout 4,800 square kilometres in Simcoe County.[2] This Central Ontario setting is bordered by the Holland Marsh in the south, the Trent-Severn Waterway in the east, Grey County in the west and Muskoka in the north.[2]
The SCDSB currently has over 50,000 students in 87 elementary schools, 14 secondary schools, 9 alternative secondary schools and 6 adult learning centres.[3] The SCDSB also employs over 6,000 employees.[2]
The SCDSB is funded by the Ministry of Education for the province of Ontario. Funding for the year ending August 2012 totals some $508,762,274. This is broken down by 18 major funding lines including Pupil Foundation Grant (252.5 M), School Foundation Grant (34.4 M), Special Education Grant (66.7 M), Language Grant (6.5 M), FNMI Grant (1.2 M), Learning Opportunities Grant (4.0 M), Safe School Supplement (0.9 M), Program Enhancement Grant (1.0 M), Continuing Education Grant (2.6 M), Cost Adjustment/ Teacher Qualifications (38.8 M), Student Transportation Grant (18.8 M), Declining Enrolment Adjustment (2.6 M), School Board Administration and Governance (13.1 M), School Operations Allocation (44.7 M), School Renewal Allocation (6.7), Interest Expense (11.8 M), Non-Permanently Financed Capital Debt (2.0 M). These amounts are further broken down by the Ministry of Education, many with restrictions on their use, and others that are locally managed. Funding for the 2012–13 school year is projected to be approximately 2.4 million dollars less than 2011–12, due to the province's focus on containing costs in order to address a 16 billion dollar deficit. Unlike all other levels of government, school boards are not allowed to maintain any long term operational deficits.
