As an educational community we have a responsibility to identify and describe racism and then work to dismantle it. The Upper Grand District School Board is committed to disrupting systemic racism and oppression in all of its forms. We will work to address systemic racism and oppression in an ongoing manner. We will implement mandatory anti-racism training for all staff, review our protocols and policies, including our hiring practices, and be fully transparent and accountable to all Upper Grand students, staff, families, and stakeholders.
