The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB, known as English-language Separate District School Board No. 43 prior to 1999) is the separate school board that oversees 153 Catholic school facilities (125 elementary schools, 26 secondary or high schools and 2 continuing education schools or adult learning centers) throughout Peel Region (Mississauga, Brampton, Caledon) and Dufferin County (including Orangeville). It employs roughly 5,000 teachers; about 3,000 at the elementary level, and the remaining 2,000 at the secondary school and continuing education level. Its headquarters is on Matheson Boulevard West in Mississauga. The board was previously known as the Dufferin-Peel Separate School Board (DPSSB) before 1998. History The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board is the successor to the Dufferin-Peel Separate School Board (), which was established in 1969 by the merger of eight small separate boards. As of 1986 the Dufferin-Peel Separate School Board was Ontario's second largest Catholic school board. On January 1, 1998, the DPSSB was renamed to DPCDSB and its French schools within the board became part of the Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud. By 1999 the district had a co-operative transportation service with the Peel District School Board. During that year its school operation costs were $4.65 ($ when adjusted for inflation) per square foot. The funding guidelines by a ministry were $5.20 ($ when adjusted for inflation). Around the time of the DPSSB's existence, the board operated six francophone schools.
