Board Improvement Plan to Support Student Achievement and Wellness (BIPSAW)
At the UCDSB, we believe that if we establish, a consistent, equitable, and intentional culture of well-being and inclusivity in all of our schools, then all students will develop enhanced mental and physical health, a positive sense of belonging, the skills to make positive choices, and increase student achievement.
Special Education Plan
Each year the board reviews and updates a Special Education Plan about delivery of programs and services in the board. The plan is written to inform the Ministry of Education and the public about special education programs and services that are provided by the board in accordance with legislation and ministry policy on special education.
