Criminal Justice / Public Safety The Board has also created and reviewed policies dealing with safety, most notably Policy JICFA – Bullying, Cyberbullying, Racialized Aggression and Harassment. It is important to remember that students cannot learn if their basic needs are not taken care of. It is our job as a community to make sure schools provide a welcoming and nurturing environment, where every student THRIVES. Taxes / Budget The Board has worked together with the Finance Department to create a year-round budget process that involves staff, students, and community. This increased transparency has facilitated the Board’s understanding of the District’s finances and given the public a clearer view of where the money is spent and why. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Pamela works tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of our students.
