Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Support

The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (KPR) values equity, diversity, inclusiveness and the dignity and humanity of each individual in its policies, practices, programs, and interactions.

The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion team serves as a resource to the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board to advance the principles of equity, diversity, inclusiveness, and respect for the dignity of all persons. In collaboration with students, employees, trustees and the community, the team facilitates student achievement while supporting just, fair working and learning environments.
