The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) maintains a strong commitment to human rights, equity, and anti-oppression for all students, staff, and school community members and partners. We want everyone who learns, works, partners with or volunteers in RCDSB to feel safe, valued, and accepted.
This commitment is formalized in the RCDSB Strategic Plan 2021-2025, which prioritizes the Empowerment of Equity and Well-Being through the following actions:
- Recognizing and working to eliminate systemic barriers affecting students, staff, and school communities.
- Ensuring equitable access to programs and services across the system.
- Integrating Indigenous ways of teaching, learning, knowing, and living into our educational practices.
- Seeking out and delivering best practices and promising opportunities that support mental health and well-being.
The RCDSB is committed to maintaining alignment with the Ministry of Education’s Policy/Program Memorandum 119. Furthermore, the Board upholds the principles of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms outlined in the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
