Board Policies and Procedures
Policies and procedures are important resources that govern the operation of the York Region District School Board. They provide belief statements and operating guidelines regarding the administration of student learning, Board resources and property, as well as general Board matters.
It is the expectation of the York Region District School Board that all employees, students and persons attending Board property; or partaking/volunteering in Board or school-sponsored events and activities will respect the policies and procedures of the Board.
As outlined in Policy and Procedure #285.0, Board Policies, Procedures and Supporting Documents, parents, staff, and other members of the educational community are encouraged to seek clarification or provide feedback on Board policies and procedures by contacting their school principal, manager, or superintendent, as appropriate.
The Board’s policy and procedure development and review process is a collaborative process, which supports learning, achievement, and well-being of students and staff. It aligns with the Board’s Mission, Vision and Values, the Multi Year Strategic Plan, District Action Plan, and school or department improvement plans and includes trustees, staff, members of the education community and other stakeholders.
