Policy & Procedure 505: Indigenous Education

Through the work of the schools and the Indigenous Education Advisory Committee, as well as work through the KPDSB Equity Committee, we continue to identify barriers that impact Indigenous students, families, and partners. The development of Policy & Procedure 505: Indigenous Education took place during the 2021–2022 school year. The intent of this policy and procedure is to understand that the KPDSB has a responsibility to act upon, reconcile, and be accountable for addressing the impacts of colonialism. It publicly states and recognizes that each student has the right to an education that is free from harmful dominant narratives, implicit bias, racism, and discrimination. It ensures that it is publicly stated that as a public school board, the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board believes in the inherent human dignity of all people.
