Palliser Regional Schools On Track with Sexuality Draft Policy
ALBERTA – The Board of Trustees for Palliser Regional Schools is following suit with others looking at a Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity Policy.
School boards across the province have until March 31 to provide the government with a policy and procedure to demonstrate compliance with the new legislation.
Associate Superintendent of Education Services, Pat Rivard, says Palliser has a number of students who identify as LGBTQ. Staff are already doing all they can to respect all students and protect their rights.
However, Director of Learning, Laurie Wilson, is raising concerns about bathroom and change room requirements. She says gender neutral, single-stalled washrooms could be a pricey re-model for some schools.
