N. Allen Sweetman ~ 1902-2005 (Retired 1970)

Al Sweetman passed away on October 26, 2005 just a week before his 103rd birthday.
He had a long and varied career with the legacy Toronto Board of Education, serving as teacher, principal, superintendent and finally Associate Director of Education. His value to the system was such that he was the only person ever asked to stay (2 years) beyond the Board’s mandatory retirement age of 65.
He was one of the earliest educators to recognize the importance of voluntary organizations in both education and the community. He once headed the Mathematics Council, the Reading Council, the Toronto Public School Principals’ Association and the Moss Park Neighbourhood Association.
W
hen he retired in 1970 at age 67, he didn’t stop working for the good of education and the welfare of teachers. He became a founding member and second President of RTO/ERO Toronto District 16. He was a major factor in developing the agreement to index teacher pensions in 1976.
