��ɫ��Ƶ Student Census

Fri, 06 Dec 2024 21:26:38 GMT

What is a Student Census?
The Student Census collects detailed information about students' demographics and experiences. In the 2021-2022 school year, the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (��ɫ��Ƶ) conducted a student census for Grades 4-12 students. Parents or guardians completed the census for younger students (Kindergarten to Grade 3) and those with special needs who required assistance.

Why Conduct a Student Census?
Research has shown that systemic racism and discrimination exist in Ontario. To address these issues, the Ontario Anti-Racism Act, 2017, requires school boards to collect identity-based data on the following items:

Language(s) first spoken	Sexual orientation
Indigenous language(s) first spoken	(Dis)ability
Indigenous identity	Birth in Canada
Ethnicity	Status in Canada
Race	Time in Canada
Religious affiliation	Socio-economic status

Collecting data about these items helps identify and eliminate disparities and disproportionalities in student experiences and outcomes, and supports planning and resource allocation to meet diverse student needs.

Consent, Implementation, and Confidentiality

Consent: The census was voluntary. Parents and guardians received detailed information and had the option to opt out.
Implementation: Students received personalized links to the online census via their school email accounts. The census collected names, student numbers, and school locations to link responses to individual students’ achievement, program access, and discipline information.
Confidentiality: All data collected is kept confidential and used solely to improve student outcomes without revealing personal identities. Detailed privacy measures are in place to protect student information.

Response Rates

Grades 4 - 12: Approximately 74% of students participated, with variations by grade level.
Kindergarten - Grade 3: About 17% participation, with parents/guardians completing the census.

Types of Questions
The census included mandatory questions about:

Demographics: Gender identity, language(s) spoken, Indigenous identity, ethnicity, race, religion, and differing abilities.
Experiences and Attitudes: Peer inclusion, school participation, emotional state, representation of equity-seeking groups, and experiences of exclusion or bullying.

Impact and Benefits
By collecting and analyzing this data, ��ɫ��Ƶ aims to:

Identify Issues: Spot and address systemic racism and discrimination within the school system.
Improve Outcomes: Develop targeted strategies to enhance educational outcomes for all students.
Ensure Equity: Uphold Catholic social teachings by promoting human dignity, solidarity, community living, and rights and responsibilities.
Support Students: Ensure that all students feel valued, supported, and treated with kindness and fairness, reflecting the teachings of Christ.

Results and Analysis
��ɫ��Ƶ Student Census - Technical Report: A detailed and comprehensive analysis of the census process and findings.

Summary of Student Outcomes: Racial disproportionalities and disparities observed for students in Grades 4 through 12.

Descriptive Tables - Racial Outcomes: a companion report to the summary report of student outcomes. Information in this report includes numeric outcomes for each racial group, based on census responses from students in Grades 4 through 12 who completed the census themselves.

Summary of Student Social Identities: Social identities reported by students in Grades 4 through 12.

Summary of Student Attitudes: Attitudinal findings observed for students in Grades 4 through 12.

Summary of Parent/Guardian-Reported Student Social Identities: Social identities reported by parents and guardians for their students in Kindergarten - Grade 3 and older students who required parent/guardian support to complete the census.

Descriptive Tables – Parent/Guardian Reported Racial Outcomes: Information in this report includes numeric outcomes for each racial group based on census responses from parents/guardians of students in Kindergarten through Grade 3 and older students who required their parents/guardians to complete the census on their behalf.

2024-2025 Budget

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 04:00:00 GMT

The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board (��ɫ��Ƶ) will once again develop a budget while operating under a Multi-Year Financial Recovery Plan (MYFRP) with the Ministry of Education. ��ɫ��Ƶ continues to work with the Ministry of Education in addressing the significant expenditure concern with a Long Term Disability (LTD) benefit plan that has created an accumulated deficit position. ��ɫ��Ƶ will operate under the MYFRP until the issue has been resolved.

The Ministry of Education provides funding to school boards through the Grants for Student Needs (GSN) funding formula. GSN information will be available on the Ministry of Education website through the link provided below as well as through the budget reports presented to the Board of Trustees. Despite limited budgetary resources, ��ɫ��Ƶ is committed to ensuring our stakeholders have access to information regarding the budget development process and opportunities to provide input.

Public Budget Information and Consultation

During the 2024-2025 budget development process, ��ɫ��Ƶ offered a Public Budget Information Session webcast on April 24, 2024. This session provided an opportunity for our community stakeholders to receive financial information and updates on the ��ɫ��Ƶ deficit position. Sharing information, and receiving input from, our community members helps to inform the budget process. The accumulated deficit position of ��ɫ��Ƶ, and limited funding resources available, does limit the actual expenditure decisions that can be made.
