The following is a list of policies of the OTTAWA-CARLETON PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD. These are ALL polices that relate to the safety of children. ALL of the following polices are 9 to 14 years old. That means these polices have NOT been revised, discussed, looked, changed in any way during that time. These are the policies that ALL Principals, teachers, parents, students and volunteers MUST follow. Shocking !!!

one more policy:
Trustee expenses for professional development, constituency communications & support services. PR.503.GOV date last revised: Oct. 2009 !!! (love to see our Trustees are taking care of things).
If you were to read the policies of other Public school boards in Ontario (all online) you would begin to see how advanced they are compared to Ottawa. York regional has a policy that states that all board policies MUST be reviewed every 4 years. I'm thinking Ottawa Public school board has a similar one but it is to review their policies every 10 years !! (sarcasm showing)
I don't have the space on here (and the time) to list the remainder of the polices but there are not many policies left that relate to child safety that ARE up-to-date.
