Along with school board’s from across the province, Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board students, parents and community partners have an opportunity online to help the board update its pupil accommodation policy. Specifically, the Board is looking to update the factors that would be important to consider as part of both an elementary or secondary school accommodation review.
“Essentially, we want the people we serve to have their say on what are the broad, general categories that are important to both an elementary or secondary school. Areas such as how many students are within a school, the programs the school can provide, and whether schools can offer a full complement of co-curricular activities like music, arts or sports,” says Diane Lloyd, Chairperson of the Board. “We’ve been asked by the Ministry of Education to update our policy by March, 2010, and we are hoping our education partners will take a brief moment and complete this anonymous survey to help us update our policy.”
In June 2009, the Ministry of Education informed all school Boards that public consultation on school accommodation matters had resulted in the development of revised pupil accommodation review guidelines.
Boards are required to review their current policies, guidelines and procedures related to pupil accommodation to ensure that they align with the new Ministry directions. Boards are to approve revisions to pupil accommodation policies and confirm the approval to the Ministry by March 31, 2010.
The Pupil Accommodation Policy Review Survey is available now on the front page of the board’s website: www.kprschools.ca
