6. Student Cenaua
Providing background information, Senior Communications Officer, Kayla TIShcoff,

reported that the Board had approved a motion to undertake a student census and a
Steering Committee has been working on developing the questions, implementation
procedures, and guidelines for data collection. Reviewing a PowerPoint pt'888ntation, she
explained that a student census will help to better understand the student population,
identify and eliminate barriers, and seek to establish effective programs or reallocate
resources to seNe student needs. She advised that the Ministry is expected to mandate
that student census be undertaken by all school boards. Research and Accountability
Officer, Rossana Bisceglia, noted that a wor1<ing draft of the student census questionnaire
was developed and has been piloted in three schools, Fletcher's Meadow Secondary,
Brlsdale Public and McCrimmon Middle Schools. A number of internal stakeholders were
consulted in drafting the questions, which win collect data on student identity, family
circumstances, school experiences and student wellbeing. Roasana Bisceglia indicated
that the census will be launched In November 2018. Grades 4-12 students will participate,
as will adult students. Parents of Ki'v:Jergarten-Grade 8* students, and parents of students
who are not ab'- to complete the questionnaire wiH complete this on behalf of their child.
She reported that the census is confidential, private and voluntary, but It is not anonymous.
Each queatioMaire will be assigned with a random code that is Unked to student first name
and last name, and accessed only by the Research department.
Kayla Tishcoff outlined the communications plan, which includes infonnation on the census
shared at school council and staff meetings, resources, Including an FAQ and video,
posted on a dedicated site on the Board's website, and school newsletter articles. A letter
from the Director of Education will be sent home seeking parental consent for students to
participate in the census. In November, schools will receive an Educator's Guide to
administer the census and will schedule a time to do the census. A copy of the
questionnaire will be available In the school office. Resources to help parents complete
the census on behalf of their children will be translated into 20 languages. The completed
questionnaire will be sent in a sealed envelope to the Research and Accountability
department, and will be seamed and stored in a secure confidential database. A summary
report is expected in Spring 2019, and the data will be used to inform board and school
decision making. Paul Favaro reported that the student census will provide data on
exceptionalities, safety issues such as bullying, and learning expectations. He stated that
this Is a long tenn process and a series of reports based on this data will be brought
forward in the next two years.
There were several questions of clarification and comments from SEAC members. It was
noted that: there is an Intensive communications plan, including SyneNoice, to ensure that
parents are aware of the consent letter; schools are provided with the Educator's Guide,
and the teacher will read along clarification for each question; the questionnaire will be
sent home if a student is not comfortable with completing it and exceptions will be made
based on student needs; options to respond include 'don't knovl. 'prefer not to answer',
and 'I am not sure how to answer this question'.
*Note: At the Special Education Advisory Committee meeting, held on June 12,2018, this
was corrected to read as Grade 3.

7. Draft Specl•l Education Plan: Section EIAddendum

Superintendent Byers invited feedback, questions or comments on the draft Special
Education Plan for the Peel DSB for 2018-2019. He indicated that the fmallzed plan will be
brought to the June SEAC meeting. Reporting that sections of the Special Education Plan
have been reviewed previously by the Committee, and posted on the test Special
Education Plan website, he noted that the report today provides information on new and
updated components of the Plan with regard to Section E and the Amendment to the Plan
which inaudesliats of staffing information and class locations for 2018-2019. Ted Byers
rvviewed some of the highlighted sections of the Plan, noting that assessment/diagnostic
information and IPRC Criteria Guidelines and Referral Process has been included for each
exceptionality.
Special Education Coordinator, Tracy Bardell, reviewed the summary of changes to the
elementary special education programs and locations, advising that the changes will help
to bring students closer to the communities. Superintendent Byers reviewed the allocation
of secondary school special education programs, noting that in most cases the increase or
decrease in allocation is minor. He explained that changes in the Developmental
Disabilites (DO) dasses mainly refer to the decoupling of DO classes. With regard to
adding classes to some special education programs, he stated that this Ia based on
projections most likely because students are moving to Peel from other school boards.
Members voiced appreciation for the decoupling of DO classes and for locating Hard of
Hearing classes to acoustically equipped locations. A member expressed concerns about
the high number of Developmental Disabilities (DOD) classes at T.L Kennedy Secondary
School. Superintendent Byers noted the decrease of one class, and he described the
location of the classes within the school. Associate Director of Instructional and Equity
SUpport Services, Poleen Grewal, referred to decisions made years ago with the relocation
of Applewood School and indicated that decoupling was not visualized at the time. She
confirmed that Special Education staff will consider thia going forward.

May 15,2018
7. Draft Special Education Plan: Section EIAddendwn (Continued)
In response to another member's question, Superintendent Byers noted that the higher
number of Enhanced Learning Claasea (ELC) in the intermediate level may be due to
timing of the CCAT test In Grade 4 and the foMow up psychoeducational assessment, as
well as students choosing to attend a regional program or French Immersion. The
member expressed concern that parents are being told that it witl take three to four years
to get to an Identification and Placement Review Committee (IPRC), and she stated that
the allocation of classes between primary, junior and intermediate levels In prior years has
not been as disproportionate. Aasoclate Director Grewal, advised that in allocating special
education programs, SERTS are surveyed and needs are reviewed to ensure that classes
are based on needs. She stated that this process was followed when locating ELCs.
Another member commented that enrolment in ELC classes is higher in the North, but
there are more classes in the South. Associate Director Grewal indicated that the student
census can help with a more equitable access to testing and programs.
Dorothy Peddie retired from the meeting at 20:50 hours.

Monograph (Continued)

students with intellectual disabilities are in aaaarooms where there is not much learning,
thereby widening the learning gap. She remar1ted that, aa a result, the students receive
certificates, and cannot achieve the diploma without passing a test in unmodified Grade 11
and 12 Mathematics. The member advocated for more programs and opportunities,
especially In the early years, for these students to achieve more and close the gap. She
stated that It is their right to receive education. Superintendent Byers thanked the member

Trades leading to Apprenticeship pathways and opportunities to meet labour force demands locally,
regionally, and provincially. No similar program currently exists in the Peel District School Board, the
Oufferin-Peel Separate School Board, or either board in Halton Region. We aim to honour those
students who are experiential learners and provide meaningful learning opportunities Which witt
support both student interests and labour market demands. Core subjects would be offered at the
applied level supplemented with high level exposure to technology shops in a wide variety of red-seal
trades areas. In order to facilitate the demand for high exposure to technological education subjects,
French would be substituted In the grade 9 program.
West Credit currently offers a unique facility featuring 12 technological education shops including two
automotive shops each with two bays, three hospitality kitchens, one manufacturing, three
construction, one cosmetology lab, one greenhouse and one ministry-licensed child care centre; all
with lndustry~standard equipment We would be unique among Peel schools, offering an applied
program with a full machine shop with welding and fabrication and also have the largest working
Greenhouse of any Peel School (which operates year~round). In terms of expertise, 25% of the
current staff have worked In Industry and are Skilled Tradespeople and qualified teachers. These
teachers also work in other areas of our school; Including Guidance.
According to Buildforce Canada: There is a projected labour shortage In the trades (Skllled Trades
Ontario). The Construction industry Is expected to lose approximately 250 000 skilled tradespeople
over the next decade to retirement (Ontario College of Trades, June 2016, reporting on behalf of
Bulldforce Canada). Currently, colleges are reporting that there is a 100% employment rate among
many of their Skilled Trade graduating ctasses. (Sandra Mateus and Uncotn Electric)
On January 31st of this year, West Credit hosted a highly successful inaugural Skilled Trades
Showcase. The event was attended by local feeder school students, area high school students,
Guidance Counsellors, CCHlperatlve Education Teachers, parents, and local Industry and post~
secondary partners.
18
At this event we offered presentations, demonstrations, tours of West Credit and Information from
Cotteges and Industry partners. We were able to engage and excite future students about the options
available to them in the SkOled Trades and wish to pursue this further with a formal regional program
Since September of 2011, West Credit has run an infonnal program for students In the applied stream
who come from feeder schools In our catchment area. In each of the last six years, the sehoal has
operated at least one class or cohort In a skilled trades pathway. Our current program demonstrates
there Is significant student Interest We also have the support of our community as endorsed by our
School Council.
3. Pathw.Y8 Chart
Courses are geared at cdlege and apprenticeship destinations because the goal of the program is to
direct students toward red-seal trades and other apprenticeship pathways.

8. Application Criteria:
Information on how students will be selected for program can be seen In the application and scoring
toot; includl':'g scorfng mechanisms should the total eligible applicants exceed the allotted student
spaces. At West Credit, an informal program for students with ambition to work in the trades has
existed since September of 2012. Students in this program are drawn from our current feeder
schools but a formal regional program, drawing interested students from across Peel can lead
additional students to •pursue Their Passion."
Students apply each year with a deadline of early February. They complete an application which
lndudes submitting report card information, and an artifact that helps us understand the student
better and their desire to pursue a trades pathway. References from teachers are also provided. The
application and supptementallnformatlon ere scored by a committee of teachers using a tool where a
mark out of 311s generated. This process is supported by a variety of groups of staff who sit on cur
Skl\ed Trades Committee. One sub-group of this committee worked to develop the application itself,
and another worked with a scoring tool to Identify which students are the moat suitable candidates.
The successful candidates are notified and choose electiVe courses at West Credit In trade pathways.

9. Delegation by Mohammed Khader re raising of the Pride Flag at Peel District School
Board Sites
Mohammed Khader, provided backgrou'ld information on how he became aware of raising

of the Pride flag at the Peel DSB through the media. He described his experience in
contacting Board staff and trustees to gather information on who supported this motion. He
expressed disappointment that aHhough some trustees abstained from voting, they did not
vote against the motion. He stated that the decision to fly the Pride flag Is Irresponsible and
unprincipled, which will resuH in requests for flying other flags that may be offensive to
others. He remarked that the public in Peel Region was not involved in this significant
decision, and that other delegations and many people are against flying d the Pride flag.
Mohammed Khader spoke about the origin and negative connotations of the colours of the
Pride flag and encouraged trustees to study its history and meaning. He suggested that the
group that requested to fly this flag has a political agenda, pressuring school boards in the
Greater Toronto Areas (GTA) and suggesting homophobia if they do not comply, while other
school boards in the country and Northern Ontario have not been approached. He
expressed the opinion that there is a large Muslim population in the GTA which is being
targeted, and that the Board ha8 made a rushed decision without public consent.
Mohammed Khader stated that there should be no flags on school property other than the
ones allowed by the Regulation, and that students should be made to feel comfortable. He
commented that the Pride flag Is socially acceptable by an elite group of people and that
many people are dissatisfied with the Board's decision to fly the Pride flag. A response will
be brought to the next Regular Meeting of the Board.
10. Delegation by Paula Hylton re We Rise Together
Paula Hylton introduced herself and her son Colin, who spoke on her behalf. Colin shared
his experience in the school system as a young black male student, with regard to
stereotyping and labelling, hidden biases, lack of encouragement and nurturing from
teachers for black students, crushed dreams of black students, unfair treatment, and reading
tests given to black students. He inquired about the appropriateness of using the book, To
Kill a Mocking Bird, in schools and suggested using other books by well-known black
authors which students can relate to. Colin spoke of a lack of information and contact
Information available on the We Rise Together initiative. Colin asked for changes in teaming
material that portrays black people in a negative context, to remove To Kill a Mocking Bird
off the reading list, to have educators offer positive and encouraging comments to black
students in classrooms, accountability of administrators, and information on We Rise
Together progress. He asked trustees to review the project to measure the impact of the
Initiative. The delegation responded to questions of clarification from trustees which
Included: concerns regarding lack of positive impact of the We Rise Together project to
date; lack of information on the project from schools and on the website; unfair treatment;
cancellation of an event without explanation; reading tests administered in middle school;
whether tests can be administered without parents' consent; there Is no substitution of books
for reading choices. A response will be brought to the next Regular Meeting of the Board.

place by September 2018. Kola lluyomade stated that parents have been asking for a
transformational partnership with the Board. He spoke about racial profiling and explained
why some reading material may be inappropriate for black students. He asked about hiring
of teachers, priority given to staff by seniority, and accountability in classrooms.
Kola lluyomade asked the Board to ouUine a process for black parents to engage in their
children's experiences according to the Parent Engagement Polley, and asked the Board for
a call to action to the Ministry of Education for a unit for Black and African Canadians at Peel
DSB. Kola lluyomade narrated a recent incident of a black student's picture posted by a
teacher on social media. He commented on Peel DSBs Policies 48 and 51, on culturally
responsive pedagogy, and asked that the Board respond to his questions.

unacceptable and is being investigated. She provided Information on follow-up work to
support black youth and all marginalized students. Responses to questions of clarification
from trustees included the need for: a clear and effective process In terms of direction for

Referring to the response, a trustee expressed appreciation for the work done so far on

and Equity Support Services, Poleen Grewal, stated that the Accountability Year One action
plan to train the senior team, trustees, principals, vice-principals, social workers,
psychologists, and curriculum and instruction staff, has been completed. She advised that a
meeting with the We Rise Together Advisory Council is scheduled for next week, and the
Year Two action plan will include community input, including having discussions about a
professional learning day next year to train more staff In all schools. Thanking staff for the
response, the trustee noted the Importance of training staff who are in direct contact with
students, and suggested that training for staff be made first priority in terms of equity
initiatives. Commenting on the significant amount of funds invested in this project, the
Importance of measuring impact, and ensuring success of students, she requested
permission to put a motion related to the topic. Chair McDougald agreed to allow a new
motion to be put on the floor later in the meeting, as business arising from the response to

21. Motion Arising from Reapon- to We Rise Together Delegations
The mover of the motion, Trustee Dakroub, stated that the motion arises from community
concerns regarding impact of the We Rise Together initiative, made by recent delegations.
Trustee Dakroub read a motion, that the Peel District School Board staff prepare a report to
the Board In September 2018 to provide an overview of ways to measure equity initiatives,
Including We Rise Together, moving forward. A trustee stated that equity is a broad topic
and the motion should focus on the Impact of We Rise Together, and suggested a friendly
amendment. The mover of the motion offered to make the motion more specific. In order to
enable the mover of the motion to rewrite and submit a written motion, the Chair declared a
recess.
A recess was called at 21 :25 hours and the meeting reconvened at 21 :50 hours.
The mover of the motion, Trustee Dakroub, asked for a recorded vote.

Be it resolved, that the Peel District School Board staff present a report to the Board in
September 2018 to provide an overview of tools to mea&tl'8 the impact of the We Rise
Together initiative going forward.
Speaking to the motion, Trustee Dakroub recalled recent concerns by delegations on We

Rise Together. She noted that $420,000 and staff have been allocated to this project;
however, there is no tool to measure its impact. She asked trustees to support the motion.
Responding to a question of clarification from a trustee regarding the feasibility of
implementing the motion and whether wort< is already In progress, Associate Director Grewal
explained that as p.t of the logic model, short and long term goal& will be brought to the
Advisory Council next Thursday. She noted that research has been c:onducted by
Cart James and, over the summer, data will be compiled from focus groups with students
and administrators, and from wort done In Year One. She added that specific measurement
tools will need to be looked at through a logic model while working alongside the community.
She also advised that some of the race-based data needed for analysis will be available only
after the student census is complete.
Further questions from trustees and responses from the administration included: plan of
work for the upcoming meeting with the Advisory Council; framewor1< of the logic model and
interim report on Year One data can be provided by September 2018, but analysis and
evidence collection will not be ready; Year Two activities need to be determined with the
Advisory Council, after which tools and strategies to collect data to measure impact will be
reviewed; ideas for tools and strategies related to the motion can be brought by
September 2018, but complete data will not be available at that time.

21. Motion Arlalng from R•ponsea to We RIM Together Delegation• (Continued)
Trustees spoke in favour of and against the motion. Some trustees indicated that work is in
progress and should not be rushed. They suggested keeping reasonable expectations to
measure impact using the data, and a need for a complete report. The mover of the motion
provided clarification of 'overview of tools' mentioned in the motion as the first step in the
process and not a complete report. Acknowledging that a report will be brought to the
Advisory Council, she clarified that her request is for a report to be brought to the Board on
overview of tools, as not all trustees are part of the Advisory Council. A trustee spoke about
the Importance of measuring impact of this project. Chair McDougald supported the motion,
however, she voiced concern that the report in September 2018 may not meet the
expectations of the community involved with We Rise Together, as it may not be complete.
The mover of the motion concluded the debate, clarifying that an overview of tools does not
Include all the data. Acknowledging that there may be criticism from the community, she
noted that this is one step in the prooess, and asked trustees to support the motion.
The result of the vote was as follows:

24. 2018- 2018 Budget OVerview
Associate Director of Operational Support Services, Jaspal Gill, thanked Finance staff for
their outstanding work over the past four months, on the development of the Board's
proposed budget. Using a PowerPoint presentation, he presented infonnation on the
budget. He noted that most of the Ministry funding for school boards is based on Average
Daily Enrolment (ADE), and enrolment is a key driver in determining staffing and
accommodation needs. With the help of a graph, he explained the enrolment trend over the
past 12 years and the significant increase In enrolment due to Full Day Kindergarten
students being Included in ACE calculations in 2014-2015. Associate Director Gill reported
an overall growth of 1090 students In Peel DSB. He reviewed the main provincial funding
changes for 2018-2019 which Included: an increase of $600 million over last year; 1.5%
salary increase and 4% increase in funding for provincial benefit trust; continuation of local
priorities funding to support children in need and at-risk students; reduction in elementary
class sizes; increase in funds for guidance teachers in Grades 7 and 8, special education
needs, mental health workers at secondary level, and English Language Leamers.
Jaspal Gill stated that to keep up with costa, there will be a 4% increase in transportation
costs amounting to additional funds of $1.6 million, and 2% increase to the non-staff portion
of school operations allocation. Funds will continue to be received for ongoing
implementation of multi-year changes such as phase-out of retirement gratuities, indigenous
education, and school foundation grant. Regarding capital investments, the Ministry will
provide $ 59.8 million to support school improvements, $21.2 million for school renewal, and
$6.6 million for greenhouse gas reduction. Associate Director Gill reviewed the budget
development approach and listed in detail the 2018·2019 proposed budget enhancements.
Speaking about the continuing funding shortfall for special education, he explained that the
funding gap for 2018-2019 is expected to be approximately $11 million. Charts on
percentage of operating expenditures, and staffing and non-staffing costs were reviewed.
Comparative information of large urban boards showing the percentage of provincial
enrolment versus share of funding Indicates that Peel has one of the largest percentage
gaps In the province. Per pupil funding for Peel is $10,030 for 2018-2019, which is
significantly less than what Ottawa-Carlton DSB and Toronto DSB receive.

24. 2018- 2018 Budget Overview (Continued)
Chair McDougald thanked Associate Diredor Gill for his presentation of the 2018-2019
Budget and expressed appreciation for the work involved In the budget process. Trustees
speaking expressed gratitude to Associate Director Gill, Finance staff, Director Joshua,
associate diredors, trustees and superintendents of education on the Budget Committee, for
the time spent on finalizing the balanced budget. Comments from trustees included that: in
spite of Peel DSB not receiving its fair share, Peel has had success; a hope that the Ministry
will consider appropriate funding for Peel in future; importance of Ministry using updated
data for funding; support for gifted students. A trustee recalled a delegation by David Laing
at the Regular Meeting of the Board on May 8, 2018, and reminded Board members that the
proposed Active School Travel Facilitator position can be fully funded for the first year by the
Adive School Travel Fund administered by Green Communities Canada. The trustee also
voiced concerns that a facilitator for the Gifted program was not approved in the budget and
she recolleded that the Poverty Indicators report had noted the lack of representation of
gifted students in the lowest income brackets. Other comments from trustees Included, that
Peel DSB's budget has increased three-fold over the last 20 years, growth in the budget is
due to growth in north Peel, and continued growth is expeded. Chair McDougald advised
that the role of the new Equity and Inclusion Coordinator, was discussed by trustees, and
while this position will spend a majority of its time on the We Rise Together projed and as a
point person to call for information, the Coordinator will also work on other equity issues.

June 05, 2018

26. Budget Motions (Continued)
Responding to a question, the mover of the motion, Trustee Dakroub clarified that the
motion asks for $366,000 from uncommitted Working Fund Reserve, for the 2018-2019
school year. She stated that this motion Is about equity and the need to maintain programs
for the next school year. Chair McDougald suggested that once the new government is in
place, an invitation letter may be sent to the new Minister of Education In fall 2018,
highlighting the work that Urban Priorities funding supports In secondary schools.
Acknowledging that good work is being done in secondary schools with Urban Priorities
funding, and stating that decrease in funding will have a negative Impact, a trustee spoke in
favour of the motion. The mover of the motion closed debate by noting that it is important to
maintain the programs until there is a way to advocate for funding. She asked trustees to
support the motion.

2018-19 Budget notes

Janet McDougald, Chair of the Board
Good evening. As we sit tonight as a board to deliberate on the 2018-19 budget, I liken it
to watching Prince Harry marry Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle a couple of weekends
ago-with a few less paparazzi.
When millions around the world watched the Royal Wedding, what they saw was the
final product-essentially, what came after months of preparation. For the Royal Family,
much of that prep work was done by staff, individuals committed to ensuring every
detail is meticulously considered and planned for. Their efforts helped ready Harry and
Meghan for their big day.
For the Board, this is our 11 Big Day" -a day when we approve crucial budget decisions
that will help us to inspire success, confidence and hope in each student. Our budget
conversations did not start tonight-or even weeks ago when we had our preliminary
budget presentation to the board. For months, staff and trustees have been diligently
working towards tonight's budget meeting, starting with our community budget
consultation process, which began in March. We, as trustees, appreciate the work.
The budget we have before us tonight-and the last budget we will approve this term as
trustees-was prepared by staff, under the leadership of Director Peter Joshua,
Associate Directors Jaspal Gill, Wendy Dowling and Poleen Grewal, Controller of Finance
Tania Alatishe-Charles and the senior finance team. I want to thank them for their
diligence, guidance and partnership during this process.
50
Again this year, we have had an efficient and collaborative budget process-this is a
great point of pride and one we all share. Like the team of little Royal Wedding
attendants trying to walk perfectly down the aisle behind Meghan, we too work
together, focusing on one main goal: student success. And sometimes it's h~rd not to
stray outside of the aisle. If we could, the board would fund every program and resource
that supports student success. But we must stay within the parameters of the funding
we receive from the Ministry of Education.
Our budget process included a business case review that allowed the board to respond
to new and emerging system and school priorities. The 2018..19 budget was developed
through an extensive consultation process that included employee group leaders,

principals and vice-principals, the senior leadership team and trustees.
In addition to working with Peel staff to develop the budget, we also sought input from
staff, families, School Council members, students and community members. To gather
input, we used an online survey and received close to 500 responses. What we heard
from our community were repeated calls for increased funding for special education,
mental health supports, technology, transportation, facilities upgrades and professional
development for staff.
And so, tonight, I'm very pleased to report that the budget before you includes
enhancements in all of these areas and more. But before I share the highlights with
you, I would like to clarify that most of the $1.9 billion budget is allocated to
operational costs-salaries and benefits, busing, classroom resources and
technology, maintenance, utilities and other day-to-day costs.

$1.8 million from Board reserves were needed to support one-time business cases in
order to balance the budget. The following significant enhancements for our students
will be approved:
• Steadfast in our commitment to achieving inclusion through continuous progress on
equity, we will hire an equity and inclusion coordinator to support board equity
initiatives, including being the lead, point person for our We Rise Together action
plan which was created to identify, understand, minimize and eliminate the
marginalization experienced by Black male students in Peel schools. This individual
will also support the board's anti-poverty initiatives and will work alongside existing
Equity staff to deliver a comprehensive strategy to support students from other
marginalized communities including students living in poverty, and students who
identify as Indigenous and/or LGBTQ+.
• We will still spend more than our allocated funding to support students with special
education needs because these needs continue to grow. This is the case across the
province, which tells me that the overall funding for special education is insufficient.
Some of the funding will be used towards special education staffing. For the fifth
consecutive year, we will increase the number of teaching assistants (TAs) in our
schools. We will add additional TA support for students with special education needs,
Including 26 new TA positions, conversion of 441ong-term occasional (LTO) TA
positions to permanent, and the addition of 31 new LTO TAs to support fall
transitions. In Special Education, we will also add a coordinating principal ofTA
allocation, five new PSSP positions (Psychologist/Social Worker/Speech Language
Pathologist) positions, two additional transition facilitators, an additional teacher for
home instruction, an additional IT analyst to support special education equipment•
.
• Additional funding will be used towards staffing. We will add six resource teachers to
support the board's We Welcome the World Centres, an additional experiential
52
learning coordinator, an additional instructional resource teacher for elearning, two
additional Student Success SHSM program support teachers, two additional staff to
support employee wellness, Human Resources recruitment staff to help us attract
and retain staff, an additional technology resource teacher, and an assistive
technology coordinator.
• Additional secondary and elementary teachers will be hired to support enrolment
increases, special education and other emerging needs.
• $400,000 will be dedicated to support the creation of dynamic, outdoor learning

spaces for kindergarten.
We came to the table, focused on the projects in our Plan for Student Success, bringing
the voices of our community with us. Every decision we made, each item added to the
budget, each taken away, all reflect the plan's four priority areas:
• High expectations for achievement

• Parent, community and staff engagement
• Equity and inclusion and
• Safe, positive, healthy climate/well-being
These have truly guided our work, and our budget reflects these Plan for Student
Success priority areas and key projects. Our investments are intended to have the
greatest, positive impact on students possible.
But we're not in this alone as trustees. Our budget decisions would be left on the Board
Room floor if not for the outstanding contributions of Peel staff and volunteers. Every
staff member, no matter what department or role, works to support schools and to
support our mission to inspire success, confidence and hope in each student.
53
I'm very pleased that we have remained, throughout the years, a board that is steadfast
in its student-focus, setting budget priorities that put students first, always.
Thank you all for your ongoing commitment to this focus.

I am pleased to present the 2018-19 proposed balanced budget totalling

$1,916,102,065 for the Peel District School Board. This budget supports the Board's
unwavering commitment to student achievement and well-being initiatives identified in
its strategic plan, the Plan for Student Success.
Due to enrolment increases, employee contract commitments and changes to grants,

the Board's total funding increased to $1.92 billion for 2018-19. Within the total
funding, local priorities funding of $16.3 million has been allocated to the Board to
continue commitments made to additional staffing in 2017-18, as per the central
labour agreements. Newly announced funding within the Grant for Student Needs
relating to preparing students for success in high school, has enabled the hiring of
approximately 40 guidance counselors for Grade 7 and 8 students.
In addition, the Board is being asked to approve from reserves- $1.8 million to
support one-time business cases and $5 million for capital improvements.
Our budget process includes a business case review that allows the Board to respond
to new and emerging system and school priorities. The 2018·19 budget was
developed through an extensive consultation process that included employee group
leaders, principals and vice-principals, the senior leadership team and trustees. The
Board also sought input from staff, parents/guardians, school council members,
students and community members through an online survey.
Guided by our consultation processes, the 2018-19 budget is able to support the
following ongoing and one·time enhancements:
• Additional teaching assistant (TA) support for students with special needs,
including 26 new TA positions. conversion of 44 long term occasional (LTO) TA
positions to permanent and the addition of 31 new LTO TA's to support fall
transitions
• A Coordinating Principal to support TA allocation
• Additional 5 new PSSP positions (Psychologist, Social Worker, Speech
Language Pathologist)

Dear David Laing:
In follow-up to our letter of May 22, 2018 sent in response to your delegation to the Board
at its Regular Meeting on May 8, 2018, I am writing again to confirm that the Board has
now concluded its deliberations on the budget for the 2018-2019 school year.
Although moat of the Board's budget Ia allocated to fixed ooats, I.e. salarle8 and benefits,
busing, classroom resources and technology, maintenance, utilities and other operational
COlts, the Budget Development Committee and the trustees have been working for
months on the development of a balanced budget, taking into consideration a number of
budget proposal• for new and very worthwhile lnitiatlvea, many of whid\ could not be
accommodated within the constraints of the budget structure. It waa determined that It
would not be poaslble for the Board to include a new Active School Travel Facilitator
position, as proposed by PSART, In 2018-2019 budget.
Once again, thank you for your delegation.
Sincerely,

Dear Mohammad Khader:
Thank you for your delegation to the Board at Ita Regulw Meeting on Tuesday, June 5, 2018. In
your delegation you spoke of your conc:em regarding the flying of the Pride Flag at Peel District
School Board schools. You Indicated that you feel that It Ia a destructive, offensive and
imt~ponaible dacialon.
Aa a board, we are committed to our four ayetem goals, Inducing our goal to build ..r.,
positive, hRithy cllm.... for l•mlng and worldng to nurture student and 8tatr well-
being. To that and, we read and listened carefully to the original requestl and delegations
presented to us on this topic from membe1'8 of the LGBTQ+ community and allies. We also
considered the Input we received outside of Board Meetings. In the majority of C8181, we were
asked to consider flying the Pride Flag In PeeiiChooll and work lit• during the month of June
to tangibly demonante our commitment to our LGBTQ+ student and staff communities. The
month of June was requested, not due to any political motivation, but because June is Pride
Month around the world.
In addition, contrwy to your 1118rtiona, thll request did not come to us from •the political
lobbying of an obBcuranllst faction. • lnltetld, It was raised by a Peel staff member during a
scheduled Equity team meeting. It was also put forward by our internal LGBTQ+ employee
resource group. A great deal d reaaarch and review was conducted around this request,
clarifying among other things, the factual meaning of the cokus of the current Pride Flag. Each
of the alx coloul'8 have the following meaning attached to them:
• Red -life
• Orange - healing
• Yellow- tunlight
• Green- nature
• Blue - serenity
• Purple - spirit
Overall the Pride Flag aervea 11 a symbol of aafaty, aecwity, community and love for all who
self-identify as LGBTQ+. The Board made ., Informed decision and we 1"88olved to approve
the flying of the Pride Flag and The Mi88iaaugas of the New Credit Firat Nation Flag, as June Ia
also National Aboriginal History Month.

Dear Colin Browne Jr. .,d Paul Hylton:
Thank you for your delegation to the Board at Ita Regular Meeting on Tuesday, June 5,
2018, offering a student viewpoint on We Rise Together.
In your delegation, you raised aome apecific queationa regarding ciMiroom and school
aaaesamenta. and attendance procedures where you believe you were Inappropriately
marked abaent. The Superintendent of Education for your achool met with you and your
guardian following your delegation to arrange a follow-up meeting with both of you to
addreu your specific questions and concema.
Your enthusiasm for the Initiatives within the Peel Diatrict School Board's We Rise
Together Action Plan, under the Student Leaderlhip and Engagement pillar, was
lnaplrtng. Following the We Rise Together Teacher Symposium In the Fall that provided
staff with workshops on how to start mentorahip programs. w with strategies to build
leaderahip and 8tudent engagement while maintaining and auatalnlng Black leadership
and mentorahlp programs at the school level, the We Rls& Together Action Committee
expanded Ita annual student leaderahlp conference for Black male students. These
events were held at the University of Toronto on May 3 and May 4, 2018.
Regrettably, the Inaugural Student Leaderlhtp AWIId Ceremony planned for Saturday,
May 28, 2018 was cancelled due to significant student and family Input Identifying prior
commitments and confticta on this date. A alta-specific alternative plan to honour and
acknowledge the student participant& and leaders within each school waa communicated
to administration and staff leaders. We regret if this lnfonnatlon did not reach you and
the diaappolntment that It created. The We Rise Together Action Committee will review
the cancellation of this ceremony In planning next year's Initiatives.
The We Rise Together Advisory Committee heard concerns around the reading of To
KHI A Mocking Bird at their meeting in February 2018. Since that meeting, admlnlatratlon
hu collated data on where the book is being taught In OlW secondary achoola and
currently Ia working on meaaaglng to the system on this p.ticular novel. We understand
that this book haa the ability to hurt and hann If not taught using an anti-Black racism
lena and If the climate In the cl111room Ia not set up for all students, especially Black
students, to engage In critical conversations about race. If these measures are not In
place, the novel will not be taught in our secondary IChoola beginning the 2018-19
school year.

Dear Mr. lluyomade:
Thank you for your delegation to the Board at its Regular Meeting on Tuesday, June 5, 2018,
regarding parent engagement though an equity lena.
The Peel District School Board's We RltJt Together Actin Plan has community engagement as
an Important pillar to doing thla work. Aa part of the community engagement pillar, we
committed to setting up a We Rise Together Community Advisory committee that has been co-
chaired by Sharon Douglas and Truetee David Green.
The purpose of the Advisory Committee, which Ia laid out in Its Terms of Reference, Ia -w
advise and hold accountable the Peel board on strategies to addresa persistent and consistent
student achievement, opportunities and participation gape experienced by Black students, with
a specific focus on Black males.• If you believe this committee Ia not aervlng the purpose that It
was designed to do, then It would be important to raise that concern at an upcoming Advisory
Committee meeting. Thla year, staff have presented the work that haa been done to date
.-ound We Rise Together and I know administration will be looking for feedback from the
Advisory Committee this month to help create the action plan for year two of We Rise Together.
We are aware that, at the February 2018 We Rise Together Advisory Committee meeting,
concerns about the reading of To Kill A Mocking Bitd, were raised by members of the
committee. Since that meeting, administration has collated data on where the book ia baing
taught In our secondary achoola and Ia currently working on meaaaglng to the system about thla
particular novel. We understand that this book hal the ability to hurt and harm If it Is not taught
using an anti-Black racism lena, and If the climate in the cl8881'00m 18 not aet up for all students,
especially Black students to engage in critical conversations about race. If theae measures are
not in place. the novel wiU not be taught In Peel board aecondary schools beginning the 2018-19
school year.
Aa a Board, through The Journey Ahead work, we have been committed to equitable hiring
practices ao that cu staff can represent Peel's diver8e community. We know there i8 a
res.-ch that speaks to the Importance rA hiring staff that repreaenta the commriy and
students we serve. Furthermore, through the Board's own research, It Ia evident that Black
students have Identified the need for mora Black educators In their schools to serve aa role
models and mentors who understand their lived experlencea. In the Fall. the Board will host a
recruitment Information evening for educators who Identify as Black who may wish to be
considered for employment by the Peel board.

2012-2013 Grade Nine Cohort
Recommendation
It le recommended that this report be received.
Background
The five-year board graduation rate Is one important indicator of the success of secondary
students and schools. The overall graduation rate ia the ratio of the number of students who
earned an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) to the number of student. who were in
the Initial Grade 9 cohort. Specifically, the 2016-2017 Board graduation rate Ia bMed on the
percentage of students In the 2012-2013 Grade 9 cohort who succellfully completed all the
requirements for the OSSD and gradulted from any PDSB secondary school wtthln five years.
The attached report provides a comparison between the Peel District School Board graduation
rate and the graduation rate for the Province of Ontario with the exception of the current year,
bec:auae the province has not yet Alleaaed the data. The report clsaggregates the data to
provide Information about grad rates for sublets of the Grade 9 cohort. It also provides detailed
Information about those students In the 2012·2013 cohort who have not received an OSSD.

BACKGROUND
GRADUATION RATE CALCULATIONS
The Ministry of Education has been releasing Provincial and school board graduation rates since 2014-2015
(Memorandum to Directors of Education, May 16, 2013). The Peel District School Board (PDSB) has been producing
board calculated graduation rates since 2003-2004. In order to preserve this tradition, this report presents both the
Ministry of Education and the PDSB graduation rate calculations.

Limitations of the PDSB and the Ministry of Education Approaches to Graduation Rate Calculations
• Certificate students (i.e., Ontario Secondary School Certificate (OSSC), Certificate of Accomplishment) are
removed from the grade 9 cohort.
• Students taking longer than five years to earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) are not included
as graduates in the graduation rate.
• Students newly enrolled in a secondary school after the initial grade 9 cohort year (i.e., enrol in grades 10, 11,
or 12) are not represented in the graduation rate.
• The graduation status of the students in the grade 9 cohort who leave and move to other educational
institutions outside of the province or country cannot be tracked.
• PDSB only: The graduation rate for students in the PDSB's grade 9 cohort who transfer to another secondary
school in Ontario is reported by the Ministry of Education (Cohort Moved to Another Board). Currently, the
PDSB does not have the individual student data for these students and they are not included in the PDSB's
Graduation Rate method calculations.

2012-2013 Grade 9 Cohort
INTRODUCTION
Graduation Rate is one indicator of the successes of secondary students and schools. It is defined as the number
of students who earned an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) divided by the number of students in the
initial grade 9 cohort.
In this section of the report, the 4 year and 5 year graduation rates (Peel DSB Method) are presented. The Data
Disaggregation outlined below delineates the sub-groups of disaggregation for the students who were in the
initial grade 9 cohort. There are four sections in the report:
1) Four year and five year graduation rates for the 2012-2013 grade 9 cohort are presented for All Students
in the Cohort and for each of the sub-groups,
2) Five year trends of 4 year and 5 year graduation rates for All Students in the Cohort and for each of the
sub-groups,
3) School results over the past ten years are presented for 4 year and 5 year graduation rates, and
4) Non-Graduates Analyses of the 2012-2013 grade 9 cohort.
Data Disaggregation of the Grade 9 Cohort

Data are disaggregated for the 4 year and 5 year graduation rates. Below is a diagram showing the
disaggregation sub-groups.

Why Disaggregate Data?

Disaggregating data involves delving more deeply into a set of results to highlight issues that pertain to subsets of results
or outcomes within aggregated data. Aggregate data can be broken down into sub-groups and disaggregated by: gender,
English Language Learners, students with special education needs, pathways, and Socioeconomic Vulnerability Index
2017 (SVI 2017). The power of disaggregated data is that it exposes patterns that are not apparent in the aggregated data.

DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY

1) Defining the Cohort
a) The cohort includes students who were registered in grade 9 during the 2012-2013 school year and
graduated from any PDSB secondary school within four or five years.
b) The cohort does not include those students who transferred for education/training to another board,
private school, or another jurisdiction outside of Ontario.
Example: If a student withdraws from the PDSB and transfers to another school district, then they are removed
from the cohort and are not included in the graduation rate calculations. However, if a student withdraws from
the PDSB and the reason for leaving (withdrawal code) is "unknown", then they remain in the cohort and are
included in the graduation rate calculations.
c) The cohort does not include those students not working toward an OSSD.
2) Cohort Graduation Rates
4 YEAR GRADUATION RATE

3) English Language Learners (ELLs)

Students were counted as English Language Learners based on TWO inclusion criteria:
1) Open ESL Profile during their elementary school career and/or
2) Enrolled in an ESL or ELD course or 6th character L or D at any time during their secondary
school career.
The data were disaggregated into the following two groups:
a) ELLs, and b) Non-ELLs.
4) Students with Special Education Needs (SPED)

Students were counted if at any time during their secondary school career they were "Students with
Special Education Needs". All other students were categorised as non-SPED (Identified Gifted students
were included in this group.) The data were disaggregated into the following three groups:
a) Identified - SPED,
b) Non-Identified- SPED, and
c) Non-SPED.
Identified - SPED included students who had an IEP and had been to an IPRC (Identification, Placement
and Review Committee). They were identified, placed in a Special Education Placement and were
receiving support.
Non-Identified- SPED included students who had an IEP but had not been to an IPRC yet, however they
were receiving Special Education Support Services.
5) Pathways
Students were assigned to a pathway based on their program of study in grade 10:
a) Academic,
b) Applied, or
c) Locally Developed Compulsory Credit (LDCC).
Designation to a pathway was based on the majority of the four compulsory grade 10 courses (English, Math,
Science, and History). If the course pathway counts were equally split, then a student was assigned to the
more advanced pathway.
Example: If a student had two academic courses and two applied courses then they were assigned to the academic
pathway.
6) Socioeconomic Vulnerability Index 2017 (SVI 2017)

The Socioeconomic Vulnerability Index (SVI 2017) was used to group schools into the following clusters:
a) Very High SVI, b) High SVI, c) Somewhat High SVI, d) Moderate SVI, e) Somewhat Low SVI, and f) Low
SVI. Note: There were no secondary schools in the Very High SVI cluster.
The SVI is composed of five variables that profile the socioeconomic context of schools. Higher SVI scores
indicate greater socioeconomic vulnerability. The primary sources of data for the 2017 SVI analyses were the
Environics Analytics Demostats databases for 2016 and 2017.
7) Need ONLY to Complete 40 Hours of Community Involvement to Graduate

Students who had successfully completed 30 credits (18 compulsory and 12 optional) and the OSSLT (Ontario
Secondary School Literacy Test) or the OSSLC (Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course) within 4 years or 5
years but did not complete 40 hours of community involvement were identified. This was the only
graduation requirement that had not been fulfilled.

Update: Tony Pontes Public School
Recommendation
It is recommended this report be received.
Background
As part of the 2016/17 Annual Planning Document approved by the Board on November 22,
2016, Tony Pontes P.S. was formed as a balanced calendar school and organized for the
2017/18 school year.
Tony Pontes students have been temporarily accommodated at Countryside Village P.S.
until the new school is completed.
Tony Pontes P.S. is intended to provide enrolment relief for SouthFields Village P.S. and
provide a balanced calendar school alternative in the SouthFields Village community.
Students wishing to attend a regular calendar school are able to opt out and attend James
Grieve Public School.
The new Tony Pontes P.S. was originally scheduled to be ready for student occupancy by
the end of July 2018 coinciding with the start of the 2018/19 balanced calendar school year.
Update
The late receipt of both Ministry of Education Approval to Proceed and Site Plan Approval
delayed construction start until November 2017. Early efforts to accelerate construction
were only partially successful and it is not likely the school will be complete until the end of
August 2018.
Countryside Village P.S. will have the capacity to accommodate Tony Pontes P.S. students
until construction of the new school is complete. The Principals of the two schools have
been consulted and Tony Pontes students will remain at Countryside Village P.S. until the
end of August 2018.
A communication plan will be developed by Communications and Community Relations

Support Services in consultation with the affected Superintendents and Principals.
