As the communities we serve as a Board grows more diverse, we welcome and value the experiences and perspectives of each person and the richness this diversity brings. As part of our commitment to continued progress towards equity and inclusion for everyone in our system, and in accordance with the Ministry of Education’s Ontario’s Education Equity Action Plan and Anti-Racism Act, 2017, Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) is undertaking a second voluntary Student Census on February 26 to collect identity-based demographic information. The data collected from students and parents/guardians will provide the school system with valuable information that will help to improve strategic planning, programming, and services with a focus on student achievement and engagement. Once fully compiled, this data will be shared with our families to help our communities better understand our population.
Your input will help to:
- Improve learning opportunities and outcomes for all students.
- Make schools aware of, understand, and support the diversity of our students and families.
- Increase student engagement.
- Improve access to services.
- Identify groups of students being underserved.
- Eliminate barriers to learning.
- Reduce challenges faced by some students and families.
- Use resources to enhance programs and services.
