Grand Erie Special Education Plan 2023-24

Standard 15

Accessibility of School Buildings

The purpose of the standard is to provide the Ministry with further details of the board’s multi-year plan, which was previously submitted to the ministry, for improving accessibility for students with physical and sensory disabilities, and to provide the public with this information.

The Grand Erie's Accessibility Plan can be found on the Grand Erie website:

Grand Erie Multi-Year Accessibility Plan 2022-27

School boards are required to comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act (AODA) including the Customer Service Standard and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation. The Grand Erie District School Board approved the 2022-27 Multi-Year Accessibility Plan which integrates the requirements of both the Ontarians with Disability Act and the AODA and addresses Employment, Communication and Information, and Transportation. Revisions to the Ontario Building Code related to accessibility for the Built Environment are implemented in all new buildings.

School sites review their accessibility needs and submit requests to the Specialized Services Program Inclusion Coordinator and Facilities Services Personnel through an online form who review the accessibility requests and determine next steps.
