DCDSB Statement on Anti-Racism Policy

The Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB) is committed to identifying and eliminating discriminatory practices, systemic barriers and biases from our schools, classrooms and workspaces to support existing and potential members of the DCDSB community to succeed. 

On May 9, 2022, DCDSB Anti-Racism Policy (PO200) was brought to the Board of Trustees for third reading. Earlier that same day, Trustees received several electronic communications from members of the public urging them not to pass the policy as written, alleging that language was not consistent with Catholic teachings. At the meeting, concerns raised in the emails about specific language and portions of the proposed policy were discussed at length. 

Trustees, considered delaying the passing of the policy until the fall, but ultimately determined that not having an anti-racism policy in place could have a negative impact on the equity-deserving members of the community. Trustees voted to pass an amended version of the third reading of the policy as an interim, and made a commitment to review the policy in the fall of 2022. 

This decision will allow for more community input and opportunity for staff to provide more background information and learning to inform the decision-making process.  

The DCDSB has recently welcomed Kayode Akomolafe to the role of Human Rights & Equity Advisor. Mr. Akomolafe joined the Senior Administrative Team in June 2022 and will be a key staff member to assist with reviewing and implementing the policy moving forward. 

Community input is welcomed via policy.input@dcdsb.ca
