Accessibility Plan
The purpose of the AODA is to develop, implement, and enforce accessibility standards or rules so that all Ontarians will benefit from accessible services, programs, spaces, and employment. The standards help organizations to prevent or remove barriers that limit the things people with disabilities can do, the places they can go, and the attitudes of service providers toward them. To this end, the AODA requires each school board to prepare an annual accessibility plan; to consult with people with disabilities in the preparation of this plan; and to make the plan public.
The Wellington Catholic District School Board is committed to the continuous improvement of access to school board facilities, policies, practices and services for students, faculty, parents/guardians, volunteers and members of the community with disabilities. This plan describes the measures that the Wellington Catholic District School Board has and will be taking during the course of the next year 5 years to identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities who work in, use or attend school board facilities and services.
