Provincial specialists Safer Schools Together delivered a report on their review of climate and culture in SD 27. Recommendations from the culture and climate report highlight the need for the district to build on existing efforts around anti-Indigenous racism, to expand its working partnership with the First Nations Education Council, promote and improve service delivery and programs for Indigenous Education, and explore ways to honour and celebrate the rich diversity of the student population.
Many of these recommendations reinforce existing priorities within the district’s current strategic plan, which is aligned with the Framework for Enhancing Student Learning (FESL).
The District’s strategic plan will be further adjusted to include recommendations from the Review that were not already underway. The Board and leadership are committed to implementing the recommendations as part of the continuous improvement cycle of Cariboo-Chilcotin School District.
The first iteration of actions, timelines, and measures of success are planned and will be monitored, adjusted, and further developed through the year ahead. Successes will be built upon, and progress will be shared with the school district community as part of the communications plan and FESL reporting.
The district looks forward to the intentional work, engagement with community, and positive outcomes that will arise from the fulfillment of its commitment to this plan. See our plan here: Safer Schools Review of Climate and Culture 2025
