Policy on LKDSB Board
Committees
Report B-15-27
#2015-45
Policy on LKDSB Board
Committees
Director Costello explained that at the January 27, 2015 Board Meeting,
Trustees agreed that there was a need to develop regulations for the LKDSB
Board Committees. Section 8 of the Board’s Procedural By-laws outlines the
current Board Committees and the Legislated Board Committees. The
proposed policy covers all of the existing Board Committees. A Board
regulation will be developed for each Committee where necessary.
Moved by Jack Fletcher, seconded by Dave Douglas,
“That the Board approve the new policy on LKDSB Board Committees.”
Chair McKinlay explained that the need for the policy came out of the report to
the Ministry on the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) which indicated that
there was not enough direction on the terms of reference for board
committees. The intent is to develop regulations for each one of the LKDSB
committees listed in the policy. It was clarified that these are the committees of
the Board as outlined in Section 8 of the Board By-laws. It was noted that the
Principal and Vice-Principal Interview Committee was listed in the policy.
Going forward, trustee involvement on this committee might change but that
would require a Board By-law change.
CARRIED.
#2015-46
Regulations on Surplus
Sites Committee
Report B-15-28
Director Costello advised that at the January 27, 2015 Board Meeting,
Trustees agreed that there was a need to develop regulations for the LKDSB
Board Committees. The LKDSB Surplus Sites Committee regulations outline
the terms of reference for the Committee. The document incorporates the
current practice of the Board as set out previously in Board Motions.
Moved by Jack Fletcher, seconded by Elizabeth Hudie,
“That the Board approve the new regulations on the Surplus Sites
Committee.”
In response to Trustee Murphy’s question about accommodating accelerated
closing dates, Superintendent Andruchow explained the past practice of the
Board to contact each Trustee individually to obtain a vote. Chair McKinlay
commented on the past experience and stated that he felt that there was a
need for all Trustees to be connected at the same time via video conference or
by teleconference for a Special Meeting of the Board. It was agreed that
regulation #7 would be revised to read If there is urgency to the situation a
Special Meeting of Board will be called for the sole purpose of discussing the
offer.
CARRIED.
Regulations on
Concussion Protocol
Report B-15-29
Director Costello explained that Ministry of Education Policy/Program
Memorandum No. 158 requires all school boards in Ontario to develop and
maintain a policy on concussion by January 30, 2015. The Board approved
the Concussion Protocol policy on January 27, 2015. Regulations have been
developed to accompany the Board policy. Secondary program staff have
also developed a detailed concussion protocol resource binder for all schools.
Principals, Vice-Principals, Union Representatives and staff are being
educated on the requirements of the protocol. Meetings with local Health Units
have taken place as well.
Moved by Bob Murphy, seconded by Lareina Rising,
“That the Board approve the new regulations on Concussion Protocol.”
Clarification was requested on the documentation to be completed. Director
Costello referenced the Concussion Protocol Binder documentation
requirements. It was clarified that the policy and regulations apply to students
only. The need to develop regulations for staff was questioned.
The Motion was withdrawn.
Elementary Teacher/Board
Communications
Committee Report
Report B-15-30
Superintendent Warner reported on the Elementary Teacher/Board
Communications Committee Meeting held on February 10, 2015. Committee
members reviewed the terms of reference for the Elementary Teacher/Board
Communications Committee.
Members discussed the rollout of the Board’s concussion protocol,
provided feedback on the report card writing day, discussed student safety
plans and risk awareness, social media, technology, the Pathways initiative
and provided feedback on KinderSTART. They were informed that the
school year calendar for 2015/2016 was being developed.
Student Senate
Student Trustees Garapick and Raza reported on the Student Senate Meeting
held on February 23, 2015. Chris Marvel, Manager of Information Technology,
attended the meeting and requested feedback on the draft Responsible use of
Technology Administrative Procedures. Student Trustee Raza provided an
update on the student engagement project she is leading at Northern-
Collegiate Institute & Vocational School. The project has expanded from its
original format. It will now include 24 teachers, parents and students. They
will be invited to attend one of the four, two hour sessions in the school library
to informally discuss/answer questions about student engagement. They may
host a community version of the session as well. They have a Speak Up Grant
of $140.00 to cover most of the cost but are requesting additional funding to
supplement the grant. They think they will need a total of $400.00 for the
project. Student Trustee Garapick provided an update on the mental health
project. They are working with the Board’s Mental Health Lead, Lori Brush.
They are investigating the possibility of producing a mental health video with a
clip from each school. They are promoting the idea of schools holding a Mental
Health Awareness Week in schools from May 5 to 11.
Trustee Questions
Trustee McGregor attended a Dawn-Euphemia Township Council Meeting in
January. Council is concerned about the potential closure of Dawn-Euphemia
School and asked for clarification on top up funding and the new Ministry
Accommodation Guidelines. Superintendent Andruchow explained that the
Ministry provides top up funding for schools that are not at 100% capacity.
Dawn-Euphemia Public School is below capacity and does not generate
enough grant funding to pay for the heating, cleaning, grass cutting, snow
plowing, repairs, etc. for the school. The government has been making
changes to the top up funding. Originally, schools at 80% capacity were
provided 20% top up funding. This was reduced to 15%, this year and will
likely be reduced further next school year. Schools designated as rural by the
government, (second digit of the postal code is 0) receive additional top up
funding to pay for the plant operations of the building. Dawn-Euphemia Public
School is considered a rural school. A number of LKDSB schools receive top
up funding.
Trustee McGregor referred to the Ministry’s comments about the development
of a community model for these schools.
Superintendent Andruchow
explained that currently, through the Ministry’s Facility Partnership Program,
the Board has designated schools that have space for community partnerships
but it is difficult to implement. The space must be separated off from the rest
of the school and the group must pay for all the costs associated with
operating a portion of the school. There was some interest at LKCS but the
group was not able to make it work. There is a community library at Grand
Bend Public School. Director Costello stated that it is hoped that the new ARC
guidelines would be released soon.
Trustee Rising shared information she received from parents regarding
students’ lunches.
Director Costello explained that the Board has
Administrative Procedures on allergies. Trustee Rising will follow up with the
individuals and work with the Director to resolve the issue.
Chair McKinlay explained that a request for a written report from Senior
Administration needs to be approved by Board Motion. Individual Trustees
cannot approach members of the Senior Administration and request a report.
Announcements
The next Regular Board Meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at
the Sarnia Education Centre.
Vice-Chair Bryce referred to the February 24, 2015 T.J Goertz Media report
and brought Trustees’ attention to the article on the LKDSB student survey
and the article on the pilot project by former Prime Minister Paul Martin that
involved a reading and writing program at Walpole Island and Kettle and Stony
Point First Nations Elementary Schools.
Motion to Re-Convene to
Private Session
Moved by Jack Fletcher, seconded by Lareina Rising,
“That the Board reconvene to Private Session.”
CARRIED.

Session 8:35
The Board reconvened to Public Session at 8:35 p.m.

Report To Board
FROM:
Jim Costello, Director of Education
DATE:
March 31, 2015
SUBJECT: Board Regulations on Concussion Protocol
As per Ministry of Education Policy/Program Memorandum No. 158 requires all school boards in Ontario to develop and maintain a policy on concussion for students by January
30, 2015. The Board approved the Concussion Protocol policy on January 27, 2015. Regulations have been developed to accompany the Board policy. Secondary program
staff have also developed a detailed concussion protocol resource binder for all schools. Principals, Vice-Principals, Union Representatives and staff are being educated on the
requirements of the protocol. Meetings with local Health Units have taken place as well.
The Concussion Protocol policy and Regulations apply to students only. The corresponding resources, including the Concussion Handbook, provide detailed instruction for staff
on how to proceed if they suspect a student has sustained a concussion. It outlines the required steps in the return to academics and activity requirements.
Employees are covered under the Board’s Administrative Procedure Critical Injury Response and Employee Work Related Injury or Illness procedures. These processes have
been place for several years and comply with requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act as well as Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) requirements.
The WSIB also has their own concussion protocol that Administration follows when assisting employees in their return to work.
Recommendation
“That the Board approve the new regulations on Concussion Protocol.”
Regulations No. R-PR-234
REGULATIONS
SUBJECT:
Concussion Protocol
All partners in education, including the Ministry of Education, other Ontario ministries, school boards, administrators, educators, school staff, students , parents, school volunteers, and
community-based organizations, have important roles to play in promoting student health and safety and in fostering and maintaining healthy and safe environments in which students can
learn.
A concussion is defined as follows:
•
•
•
•
a brain injury that causes changes in the way in which the brain functions and that can lead to symptoms that can be physical (e.g., headache, dizziness), cognitive (e.g.,
difficulty in concentrating or remembering), emotional/behavioural (e.g., depression, irritability), and/or related to sleep (e.g., drowsiness, difficulty in falling asleep).
may be caused either by a direct blow to the head, face, or neck or by a blow to the body that transmits a force to the head that causes the brain to move rapidly within
the skull.
can occur even if there has been no loss of consciousness (in fact most concussions occur without a loss of consciousness).
cannot normally be seen by means of medical imaging tests, such as X-ray standard computed tomography (CT) scans, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
A concussion can have a significant impact on a student – cognitively, physically, emotionally, and socially. It is very important to students’ long-term health and academic success that
individuals in schools have information on appropriate strategies to minimized risk of concussion, steps to follow if they suspect that a student may have a concussion, and effective
management procedures to guide students’ return to learning and physical activity after a diagnosed concussion.
Responsibilities of the Lambton Kent District School Board
1. The Board will implement and maintain concussion management strategies that include awareness initiatives, prevention strategies, identification of concussion process, diagnosed
concussion management and training.
2. The Board will provide annual training for staff, coaches, volunteers, parents/guardians and students on the concussion management strategies.
3. The members of the program department will provide curriculum links for staff.
4. Board will endeavor to meet the educational needs of the student while the student is recovering from a head injury or concussion.

The individual in charge must administer first aid as soon as an injury occurs and determine if the student needs emergency treatment.
The individual in charge must ensure that the student is not left alone.
The individual in charge must monitor signs and symptoms for deterioration.
The individual in charge must not administer medication.
The principal will ensure that the proper documentation contained in the Concussion Handbook is completed and returned to the school by the parent/guardian, doctors and/or nurse
practitioners.
The school principal should appoint staff members to monitor and ensure adequate communication and coordination to meet the student’s academic needs.
The school principal will also be responsible for approving any adjustments to the student’s schedule.
The school principal will share information contained in Concussion Protocol Resource Binder on dealing with students who have had a concussion.
In some circumstances, the In-School Team under the direction of the school principal may find it necessary to develop an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for the student. This will facilitate
the collaborative problem solving, decision making and planning for students who are experiencing difficulty in their learning environment as a result of a concussion.
Responsibilities of the teaching and other LKDSB staff
1.

challenges.
School coaching staff with responsibility for a student after-school hours can assist in monitoring participation in after-school activities and observing any changes in symptoms.
Responsibilities of the parents/guardians
1.
Parents/guardians must understand:
o what a concussion is
o that medical attention is required
o that most students will get better
o the potential effects on school learning and performance
o the importance of following guidance from their student’s health care provider in order to ensure the most rapid and complete recovery possible
o that a student who suffers a second concussion before he or she is symptom free from the first concussion is susceptible to a prolonged period of recovery, and possible Second Impact
Syndrome.
2. Parents will ensure that the proper documentation is completed and returned to the school by the parent/guardian, doctors and/or nurse practitioners.
Responsibilities of the student
1.
2.

Report on the Board of Directors Meeting Friday-Saturday, February 20 & 21, 2015
Introduction
There are a lot of topics covered with a lot of detail. Therefore, I have highlighted items that are possibly relevant to our Board or in which I believe you may be interested. If you
have questions about a specific item or topic in the agenda, email me or appropriate staff member at OPSBA who would, most likely, be able to give you a more detailed & up
to date answer. Also, consult the “Key Work” document published by OPSBA to view their activities, priorities & service areas.
Highlights
• Agenda Items 2.4 a) to 2.4 n) all involve minutes or reports of which I have copies if you are interested in further information.
• Thames Valley DSB concerned about internal audits as these auditors are working for the Boards of Education but seem to be emphasising the Ministry needs rather
than the needs of the school boards.
• The Education Program Work Team referred to regional EQAO meetings of which apparently a number of trustees are not aware. (Have we (our region) been notified of
an EQAO meeting?) There is an OPSBA draft paper on EQAO.
• Reference was made to the Health and Physical Education curriculum that has been released as of Monday, February 23, 2015. This group emphasised that we should
refer to it as the “Health and Physical Education” curriculum as the sex education components are only part of this updated curriculum.
• The Policy Development Work Team referred to a meeting with Ministry staff regarding Public Accommodation Review Guidelines (PARG) and that no significant
changes were made to the revised PARG as a result of the consultation.
• A professional development module on Social Media is being developed by OPSBA.
• Education finance update included references to: PARG; GSN/Education Funding Consultation; Transportation Competitive Procurement Review; School Energy
Coalition (“SEC”); Summary of 2015 B & 2015 SB Memoranda; & memo regarding the Capital Planning Capacity Program.
• There is a position paper being developed to advocate for mandatory elementary and secondary curriculum components in First Nations, Metis and Inuit history that
includes treaty education, the history and legacy of residential schools and the impact of the Indian Act.
• There is a video “Kids Come First” which was shown a PES and is on the OPSBA web site that we are all encouraged to watch.
• The Minister’s Advisory Council on Special Education is organizing a one day meeting in Toronto on May 2, 2015. District school boards will receive funding for this
meeting to offset some of the costs.
• Most of the regional vice presidents reported that their regional school boards were waiting for the PARG report so that they could get ready for school closings.

Native Advisory Committee Report
REPORT NO: B-15-41
The February 18, 2015 meeting of the Native Advisory Committee was hosted by Walpole Island First Nation.
The committee received reports from First Nation representatives. Walpole Island First Nation shared their focus on student success and noted that they are in the very early
stages of studying the concept of a balanced school year for their elementary school. Aamjiwnaang First Nation sent students to Western University’s track and field meet, and
to the annual Indspire Awards. The community is currently involved in a survey of sectors including early years and education that they will use to inform policy development
and advocacy in the future. Kettle and Stony Point First Nation was eagerly awaiting the release of the Model Schools document in which their very successful participation in
the Martin Project was to be highlighted. Project results confirmed that with appropriate supports, First Nation children can perform with all others, and underscored the
importance of equitable funding for education whether sourced federally or provincially. Delaware Nation has established an Education Task Force to develop an education
authority for the First Nation. They are currently working in partnership with the Board on alternative education supports, and are continuing to have community members
certified to teach the Lenape language.
Trustee Rising spoke about the public education symposium attended by trustees and senior board staff which included a business meeting for Native trustees. She confirmed
the appointment of Christy Bressette as the First Nation rep to the Special Education Advisory Committee, and requested on behalf of First Nation partners that the Board
consult with regard to the appointment of principals to schools directly serving First Nation communities.
Aboriginal Liaison Janette Richmond-Kuhn spoke about her preparations for a new Liaison to assume the role while she is away on leave, and updated the group on a number
of cultural presentations that have been made in schools. The annual student symposium is set for May 27 at WDSS.
Superintendent Doey shared that the interview processes for the new Aboriginal Liaison and Student Re-engagement Workers were soon to be completed. He also received
support from the committee for PhD research to be undertaken on how FNMI perspectives are being integrated into curriculum.
The next meeting of the Native Advisory Committee will be held at Ridgetown District High School on Wednesday, April 15 at 6:00 pm.

SUBJECT:
SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING SUMMARY
The Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) of the Lambton Kent District School Board met on February 19, 2015 via Video-Conference between the Sarnia Education Centre and the
Chatham Regional Education Centre. Following is a report of the activities of the meeting:
Introduction of New Members
The new members joining SEAC for the 2015 – 2018 term were identified, they are:
1. Candice Service, representing Epilepsy Support’s Sarnia Branch
2. Chris King, representing Community Living, Sarnia-Lambton
3. Jean McIntyre, a Member “At Large”
4. Jennifer Gillespie, a Member “At Large”
5. Lori Turner, representing Autism Ontario’s Sarnia-Lambton and Chatham-Kent Chapters
Election of Chair and Vice-Chair (2015)
Annual elections were held for SEAC’s Chair and Vice-Chair. Rose Gallaway was nominated and members voted to re-appoint her to be the Chair of SEAC. Elizabeth Hudie was nominated
and members voted to re-appoint her as the Vice-Chair.
Update on Project with the ESC LHIN and Community Partners
Dave Doey and Pam Graham provided an update to SEAC members regarding the streamlining of service delivery for children with special needs in the Province. They advised SEAC that local
communities have been tasked to identify gaps/barriers, available resources, etc. in order to develop a process that makes more sense for families. The overall intent is to build a child-centred
process that’s family-friendly by considering: who would qualify for coordinated service delivery; what would the intake process look like for families with several children needing communitybased services; and more. Work on this initiative is ongoing and updates will be brought back to SEAC whenever necessary.
Presentation: LKDSB’s Special Education Placements, Programs and Services
Pam Graham provided details on the Continuum of Ministry of Education Placement Options, contained on Page 42 of 79 in the Board’s Special Education Report. The following is an
overview:
• Regular Classroom: Resource Teachers (consultatively), Educational Assistants, Child and Youth Workers (contracted to work in specific schools), Psychoeducational Clinicians, Mental
Health Lead, School Support Officers, Attendance Counsellors, and Mental Health & Addiction Nurses (Nurses are shared with the St. Clair Catholic District School Board)
• Regular Class Indirect Support: Itinerant Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Itinerant Blind & Low Vision, and Enrichment
•

•
Regular Class with Resource Assistance: Assistive Technology, Itinerant Behaviour, Itinerant High Needs, Speech and Language, ABA Specialist, and Levelled Literacy Intervention –
School Targeted Assistance Resources
Special Education Class with Partial Integration: ABLE Classes, Transition Learning Disabilities Class
Special Education Class – Full-time: Alternative Learning and Life Skills Class
Special Day School Treatment Facility: Pam explained that we offer four Section 23 classes (Choices, Huron House, Indian Creek, Victoria Park), there is also a Mental Health
Transitions classroom, and, she said we were just approved for a 4 R’s classroom (Rewind, Refocus, Reach Out, and Reach Ahead); she noted that both the Transitions classroom and
the 4 R’s classroom are currently operating out of Sarnia Rebound
Residential School – Treatment Facility: Child and Parent Research Institute (CPRI), Madame Vanier, W.R.C.C., and Maryvale; Pam noted that the length of service varies with each
facility and that the service delivery at each site is different too
Special Provincial Schools: Amethyst, W. Ross McDonald, Robarts, E.C. Drury
Special Education Report Amendments
The amendments (if any) suggested for Section 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.14, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.15 of the Special Education Report were brought forward by administration. There were no questions raised
relative to the proposed amendments, or those sections where no amendments are being recommended.
Correspondence
1. SEAC received a “welcome” letter from Minister Sandals to SEAC Chairs as well as to returning and new members which provided Ministry of Education website links where members can
find valuable information.
2. SEAC received a letter from the Upper Grand District School Board’s Special Education Advisory Committee to The Ministry of Education with regard to Special Education Part 1 being
mandatory in order to receive a Teaching Certificate; no action was taken.
3. SEAC received a copy of a letter from the Upper Grand District School Board’s Special Education Advisory Committee to The Ministry of Education seeking clarification
from the Ministry with regard to the Special Education Report and the Special Education Plan; no action was taken.
4. Arrowsmith submitted a letter and flyer outlining their programs. LKDSB staff investigated the program previously but found the costs to be quite high and the programs to
be quite prescriptive so, for those reasons, the Arrowsmith program was not felt to be a fit; no action was taken.
5. SEAC received a letter from the Ministry of Education outlining details regarding the 2015 SEAC Conference in May of 2015. Members interested in attending on the
LKDSB’s behalf were asked to let Lori Gall know as soon as possible so the necessary arrangements can be made.
6. SEAC received a letter from the Renfrew County District School Board with regard to concerns about Regulation 274 negatively impacting all children in the province but,
especially, students with special needs. A member of SEAC noted that it isn’t likely that the legislation will change, but they were happy to see the Regulation being
challenged; no action was taken.
Next Meeting
Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 6:00 p.m., via Video-Conference from the Sarnia Education Centre and the Chatham Regional Education Centre.
Rose Gallaway, SEAC Chair

Report To Board
FROM:
DATE:
March 31, 2015
SUBJECT: Reporting Under the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act for the
2014 Year.
Each year, since the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act was passed in 1996, the Ontario Government has published a compendium on public sector employees who were
paid a salary of $100,000 or more. Organizations that receive public funding from the Province of Ontario are required to disclose the names, positions, salaries and taxable
benefits of these employees. The salary required to be made public under the Act reflects the amount to be reported to Canada Revenue Agency on the employer’s T-4 slip for
the employee. The T-4 amounts may include components that relate to a prior year and may exceed the employee’s annual rate of salary. The taxable benefits listed on the
report are the amount shown on the T-4 slip as prepared for the Canada Revenue Agency.
The Act covers city and other local governments, universities and colleges, school boards, hospitals, and Crown agencies. It also applies to the Provincial Government
ministries and members of the Assembly. Other non-profit organizations that receive a large share of their funding from the provincial government are covered as well.
Attached is the Record of Employees’ 2014 Salaries and Benefits for the Lambton Kent District School Board filed in accordance with the Public Sector Salary Disclosure Act.
