(DRAFT) DPAC General Meeting Minutes - 2023.09.06.docx.pdfInclusion Diverse Learners Committee
"Our mission as Surrey DPAC is to facilitate meaningful parent involvement in the public school system and to empower parents to speak on behalf of their children. This statement is more so when it comes our diverse learners and their parent/guardian. We recognize that navigating the system to get support for our diverse learners can be a daunting task let alone speaking up on their behalf. In order to better assist our members, we have formed this committee in hopes that it can facilitate a safe space for sharing, learning and support.
Our goal is to learn the system and then be able to provide assistance in navigating it and advocating for much needed change.”
Please check out this website there are lots of resources available and the committee is very passionate about identifying struggles experienced in the schools from students, Education Assistants, teachers, and the administrator perspectives and how they can be improved.
