SAANICH EQUITABLE ACCESS TEAM (SEAT) IS SEEKING YOUR FEEDBACK
The Saanich Equitable Access Team (SEAT) is a new working group comprised of parents, teachers, support staff, district staff, and community members from within the Saanich Learning Community. This group is currently working collaboratively to develop a plan, within the Accessibility BC Act legislation. The purpose of this working group and plan is to ensure students, staff, and community members with diverse disabilities have a voice in identifying, preventing, and removing barriers that may be present in our district learning environments, and workplaces.
Our district is dedicated to inclusion, accessibility, and equity for staff, students and all those interacting with the district. We are committed to improving the experiences of people with diverse disabilities and we encourage our community to share their feedback and experiences. In fall of the 2023/24 school year this plan will be made available on this page.
SEAT will review feedback provided by students, staff, and the community, and support the district in creating, reviewing, and updating our Accessibility Plan.
