A Policy is a statement or position of a principle, intent or belief adopted by the Board of Trustees that provides the framework for the development of a course of action. It is a commitment by which the Board is held accountable to its public.
The Board's By-Law/Policies Review Committee is a Standing Committee of the Board, meeting quarterly, or at the Call of the Chair, or of the Board. This Committee considers and recommends new and/or draft policies for Board approval.
The maintenance of a policy register is an ongoing process. As issues arise, new policies will be required, as well as the revision of existing policies. DPCDSB is committed to reviewing policies that reflect the latest developments and current practices of education. As part of its commitment, the Board conducts regular reviews and updates of its policies to ensure they are relevant and supportive of student success. For the 2024-2025 school year, the following Policies for Review will be reviewed to address the needs of the DPCDSB community and broader educational environment.
Documents are available in accessible formats upon request.
