September 20, 2023—Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) is committed to ensuring that all staff and students are seen, heard and welcomed as they are, so they can thrive and belong. This is the vision of the HPEDSB Equity Action Plan.
Discrimination and harassment based on gender identity and/or sexual orientation are wrong and detrimental, and are also a violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code. Members of the HPEDSB community remain committed to creating safe and inclusive spaces for all students, families and staff, especially for those most marginalized.
