School Policies, Procedures and Codes
All policies and codes in our school are based primarily on provincial statutes and regulations, e.g. requirements and duties of pupils in the Education Act (Consolidated Ontario Education Statutes and Regulations 2003, S.23.23)
The
2021-2022 School Start-Up Guide for Dr. GW Williams contains information about policies and procedures specific to DGWSS that are outlined generally for the Board in the Guide to the School Year 2020-21.
Board Policies and Procedures
All Board policies and their related procedures, where applicable, are available on our Board public website or in school offices.
We value and promote open dialogue and encourage feedback on policy issues related to the delivery of public education in York Region schools.
To ensure the policies governing the operation of the Board remain current, trustees engage in a four-year cyclical review of all Board policies. This review includes seeking feedback from members of the educational community in an equitable and transparent manner.
All policies available for comment are on the Board’s public website and sent to the Chair(s) of each school council, to be shared with members of the school community. If you feel a policy needs to be revised, please share specific wording changes with related rationale through your school council for submission to the Policy and By-Law Committee for consideration.
