In 1972, when the Department of Education was reorganized into the Ministry of Education, the Supervision Branch was replaced by the Supervisory Services Branch, which was part of the new Education Administration Division.

In June 1976, the Supervisory Services Branch was amalgamated with the Legislation Branch, creating the Supervision and Legislation Branch. This new Branch was placed in the Education Administration Division.

The Supervisory Services Branch acted as a liaison between the Ministry of Education and provincial organizations of teachers, trustees, and school officials. The Branch also supervised private schools. Other responsibilities included administering and evaluating compulsory attendance legislation, administering appeal procedures for teachers, providing supervisory services for French-language groups in Ontario, co-ordinating Ministry responsibilities for educating students in Department of National Defence schools and schools operated by the Ministry of Correctional Services, assisting in negotiations between school boards and teachers, as well as administering supervision of Northern Corps schools. Finally, the Branch acted as the management agent in the certification of supervisory officers, and acted as a liaison with universities providing professional development activities for supervisory officers.
