Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board

Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board policies and procedures are undertaken with the intent to achieve the goals of equity, decolonization, inclusion, anti-racism, anti-oppression and accessibility, and in compliance with obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code and related policies.

A policy is an approved principle that supports governance by the Board of Trustees. Policies are created, reviewed and approved by Board members. A procedure is an administrative statement that directs actions by staff. Procedures are created, reviewed and approved by senior staff.

Policies and procedures reinforce the distinction between the Board's responsibility to govern and the Chief Executive Officer's responsibility to administrative duties.

Please note: Ontario's Bill 101, the Putting Student Achievement First Act and its related regulations passed by the provincial legislature, overhauls school board governance and labor relations. Many policies and procedures will be updated in the coming weeks. If a policy/by-law/governance directive is found to be inconsistent with or contradicts any legislation or regulation, the legislation or regulation prevails.
