Dear Families:
The YRDSB’s Equity and
Inclusivity Advisory Committee (EIAC) created four sub-committees to engage
family/parents and community voice and ideas with regard to ways to counter
Anti-Black Racism, Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and Classism within the context
of education.
The EIAC subcommittees are launching multiple Community
Consultations early in the new year. As such, the Anti-Black Racism and
Classism Sub-Committees are slated to host community consultations in January and February 2018.
These consultations will also provide a summary of the Ministry’s
recent review of YRDSB and in turn the Board’s response to equity-based
recommendations in the Ministry’s report. The Antisemitism and Islamophobia
community consultations will be conducted in April/May 2018.
Please see attached EIAC Anti-Black Racism and
Classism Community Consultations flyer.
Thank you,
Joanne Lomanno-Aprile Carolyn Lamy
Principal Vice Principal
