The news came a day after Bruce Rodrigues was appointed by Education Minister Stephen Lecce in response to reports that found anti-Black and systemic racism within the Peel District School Board.

"We are awaiting a formal order concluding the proceeding, but terms to end the litigation were agreed upon over the weekend," a Peel District School Board spokesperson said.

"Anti-Black racism is a real and continuing problem in the Peel District School Board that requires not just urgent action, but a united sense of purpose at the board that is currently lacking."
