Wikwemikong Board Of Education Operating Policies
The Wikwemikong Board of Education commenced planning for policy review, revision and implementation in 2013. As part of the planning the WBE submitted proposals to Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada to begin the process of policy review and implementation ensuring effective education governance. INAC funded our Structural Readiness proposal as part of the First Nations Student Success Program and we started the policy review in 2014-2015 and continued through the 2015-2016 school year. The process for policy review and implementation entailed a review of policies with principals, program managers, board members, consultants, legal policy consultants and lawyers for quality assurance. The policies created align with the Education Statutes and Regulations of Ontario. The school board has spent years updating its policies and creating new policies to ensure good education governance; and as part of that process we are sharing the documents on the Wikwemikong Board of Education website. The WBE will be providing training on the use of these policies throughout the 2016-2017 school year. We thank the federal government at INAC for financially supporting the processes over the years. The policies that we have created and share here we hope will bring clarity and direction to the daily education operations at Wikwemikong.
