Students have told us that they need staff and teachers who can listen and support them. It’s important for this to also extend to relevant staff at the school board level. Through the WRDSB staff presence in schools and with students, we hope to increase familiarity and build trust.

To increase our presence, we will visit schools, attend student events, and participate in virtual town halls. This will allow students to “put a face” to the school board. It also lets staff hear from students, especially those less involved in student engagement.
