​​​​Human Rights Equity Action & Accountability Plan - The Way Forward​

The Human Rights Equity Action and Accountability Plan: The Way Forward​ reflects the Halton District School Board’s commitment to create and maintain safe, inclusive learning and working environments free from discrimination for students, families, staff and members of the public. Please email contact@hdsb.ca if you would like to review the full plan. ​

Overview of HREAA Plan - The Way Forward​​​

​The Halton District School Board is Committed​ t​o Serve Students, Families and Staff

We incorporate principles of equity and ​inclusive education into all aspects of our operations, structures, policies, procedures, guidelines and practices, consistent with the principles of the ​Ontario Human Rights Code.​​

The Halton District School Board believes that all students can learn and we strive to enable every student to learn effectively, to reduce achievement gaps and to improve learning outcomes for all, regardless of race, class, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and other historical forms of marginalization.​

The Halton District School Board Equity and Inclusive Education Policy reflects our commitment to create and maintain a safe, inclusive learning and working environment for students, their families, employees and members of the public. Our policy informs decisions regarding board actions across multiple areas including policies and procedures; leadership; school and community relationships; religious accommodations; curriculum and assessment practices; and actions to create a school climate free from discrimination and harrassment. These actions are supported and guided by Ontario’s Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy (2009) and Ontario’s Education Equity Action Plan (2017).

For additional information regarding equitable practices in the Halton District School Board please see additional resources below.
