History
The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board was created on 1 January, 1998 in accordance with Ontario provincial government legislation including merging of the former adjacent Carleton Board of Education and the Ottawa Board of Education. The headquarters of the amalgamated school district is located at the former headquarters of the Carleton Board of Education at 133 Greenbank Road, Nepean.
Historically, and to this day, the OCDSB is one of the very few school boards in Ontario with an advisory council on the arts providing input and annual reports to the Board of Trustees.
In 2009-2010 the OCDSB tried to shutdown the Alternative program, a group of Students and Parents from Lady Evelyn Alt teamed up with a trustee and won the Review.
