The Board approved the interim Program and Accommodation Review Policy on October 18, 2006.  We acknowledge that many hours of hard work went into this process and the participation and efforts of those involved is greatly appreciated.  However, subsequent to the development and approval of this policy, the Ministry issued guidelines that school boards must follow when conducting accommodation reviews. These guidelines were released on October 31, 2006.  It is now our mandate to modify and amend our policy to conform to the new Ministry guidelines and to create generic valuation criteria to determine accommodation needs.
