Accessibility in the HDSB
The Halton District School Board remains committed to supporting and meeting the objectives and requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians Disabilities Act 2005 (AODA). The Board continues to meet all of the accessibility requirements outlined by the AODA. The purpose of the Annual Accessibility Report is to highlight the progress made during the 2020-21 school year in providing an environment in all its workplaces and learning spaces that builds independence, dignity, integration and equality of opportunity for students, parents/guardians, staff and the public. The Halton District School Board is committed to the goal of giving persons with disabilities the same opportunity of access to its services in a similar way as these services are available to all others we serve.
