ANNUAL REPORT2015-2016
Chairman’s Introduction
ii
Change. One of the few constants the English Education system can count on. Change has defined the Lester B. Pearson School Board since its creation in 1998 and the results have been exciting, challenging and, most of all, successful.
The pages of this Annual Report form yet another testament to the successes achieved in the classrooms from Verdun to the Ontario border.
Change has been evident in everything from moving from confessional school boards to linguistic boards, to curriculum reform, to new programs, to new technologies, to many, many new governments with new ideas. And to new students. Today’s students are simply wired differently than those of past generations. They acquire information differently, remember things in a different way and are engaged in their learning in new manners.
But the real challenges, burdens and opportunities created by these changes have mostly impacted our front line staff. Our teachers and support staff in the classrooms have embraced the changes wholly. Their commitment to every students’ success is unmatched. Day after day, they hit it out of the ballpark with innovative teaching methods in creative, inspiring learning spaces.
We, as a board, continually introduce our teachers to new ideas like iPad initiatives, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs, Science Technology Engineering Arts Math (STEAM) programs, student-led learning, maker spaces, robotics, coding, Français Plus, International Baccalaureate programs at all levels and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) classrooms. The teachers not only are willing to implement these programs, but they make them their own in unique ways to meet the very diverse needs of the students in their classes. Our high inclusion rates of children with special needs does not intimidate our classroom staff and the successes we achieve include the successes of these children. We couldn’t be prouder.
Within a sound framework of Digital Citizenship, our students are learning to use a variety of technologies as tools for learning. The environments have allowed us to achieve incredible rates of student engagement.
Please take the time to review the charts, information and descriptions enclosed herein and witness how the extraordinary efforts of our front line staff, supported by a well-oiled infrastructure, and our willingness to adapt to and adopt new and effective strategies has resulted success across so many measurable scales. More students are graduating (we remain amongst the top school boards in Quebec for graduation rates), less students are dropping out and students are achieving higher results and greater successes. Our alternative programs, work oriented pathways and continuing education options are increasingly accepted as avenues to success. And it’s achieved with ever-shrinking budgets that have to be managed in an increasingly efficient way.
To that end, let me thank everyone in the Lester B. Pearson community for putting our students’ success front and foremost and making every decision in the best interest of them - our raison d’être.
Suanne Stein Day Chair
Director General’s Introduction
iii
It is with a great sense of pride that I have the opportunity to introduce the results of this past year’s (2015-2016) achievements, progress, and successes, through this Annual Report, to all our stakeholders and communities.
From 2010 to 2015, our Strategic Plan has focussed on five primary goals, each aligned with those of the Ministère de l’Éducation, de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche. In the absence of an approved partnership agreement for the 2015-16 school year, the 2010-15 plan was extended by an additional year.
This report provides information on our academic results and shares information about the important work that our school board does in ensuring a safe and healthy educational environment for our students. It highlights the contributions and achievements of our Continuing Education Sector as well as the valuable role that our International Department plays in our growth.
Regardless of the plan in place, the Lester B. Pearson School Board is driven by the singular goal of student success in all the domains in which it can be actualized. To achieve that success, our staff members have risen to the challenge of delivering outstanding support, throughout the school board, to meet the needs of our 21st century learners in our Schools, Continuing Education Centres, and our International Youth & Career Programs.
We believe that the identified pillars of our plan represent the key areas that will drive student growth and ensure that we reach the goals we have set for our system. It is our responsibility to ensure that every student has the opportunity to excel.
The continued introduction of new and relevant technology tools in our classrooms engages students at all levels in individualized discovery and in collaborative learning. I can therefore state unequivocally, that we continue to provide the best possible learning opportunities for our students, all thanks to the strength of our Lester B. Pearson School Board team: staff members at all levels, school commissioners, volunteers, students and parents.
Our new 2015-2020 Strategic Plan, Engaging Learner’s for Life, has been adopted by the board and is currently guiding us towards a bright and secure future. We look forward to reporting in next year’s Annual Report our acheivements.
Thank you,
Michael Chechile Director General

Code of Ethics & ConductSection 175.1 of the Education Act
The council of commissioners must, by by-law, establish a code of ethics and professional conduct which is applicable to the commissioners.
The code shall set out the duties and obligations of the commissioners, and may prescribe standards that vary according to the various classes of commissioners or that apply only to certain classes of commissioners. The code must, among other things,
(1) include preventive measures, in particular rules for the disclosure of interests;
(2) deal with the identification of situations of conflict of interest;
(3) regulate or prohibit practices relating to remuneration;
(4) specify the duties and obligations of commissioners even after they leave office;
(5) include enforcement mechanisms, in particular the designation of the persons charged with the enforcement of the code and provide for penalties.
No member of the council of commissioners or employee of a school board may be responsible for determining if the code has been contravened or for imposing a penalty.
The school board must ensure public access to the code, and publish it in its annual report.
The annual report shall, in addition, state the number of cases dealt with and the follow-up thereon and set out any breaches determined during the year by the disciplinary authorities, the determination thereof, any penalties imposed by the competent authorities and the names of any commissioners divested of office by a court during the year.This section must not be construed so as to restrict the freedom of speech inherent in a commissioner’s function.
Report:
The Ethics Officer charged with the enforcement of the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct of the Commissioners of the Lester B. Pearson School Board has indicated the following:
For the year ending June 30, 2016, he received three (3) complaints, of which all three (3) complaints were under review as of June 30, 2016
By-law 5: CODE OF ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT APPLICABLE TO THE COUNCIL OF COMMISSIONERS is available on our website at the following link.

Partnership Agreement and Strategic PlanAnnual Report 2015-2016
The Lester B. Pearson School Board’s five-year strategic planning cycle and affiliated partnership agreement with Quebec’s Ministère de l’Éducation, de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche (formerly MELS) ended on June 30th, 2015. In the absence of an approved partnership agreement for the 2015-16 school year, the 2010-15 plan extended by an additional year for reporting purposes. Regardless of the plan in place, the Lester B. Pearson School Board is driven by the singular goal of student success in all the domains in which it can be actualized. We believe that the identified pillars of our plan represent the key areas that will drive student growth and ensure that we reach the goals we have set for our system. It is our responsibility to ensure that every student has the opportunity to excel.
We are pleased to share news of this past year’s (2015-16) achievements and progress. This report includes information on our academic results and shares information about the important work that our system does in ensuring a safe and healthy educational environment for our students. It highlights the contributions and achievements of our Adult and Vocational Sector as well as the valuable role that our International Department plays in our growth.
Since 2010, we have focussed on five primary goals, each aligned with those of the Ministère de l’Éducation,
de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche:
Increased Graduation and Qualification Rate
Improved Mastery of English and French Language Skills
Improved Levels of Success and Perseverance for Students with Handicaps, Social Maladjustments or Learning Difficulties
Promoting Wellness in a Safe and Caring Community
Increased Enrollment of Students Under 20 Years of Age in Vocational Training
In our plan, we oriented ourselves in four specific directions:
Maximizing Student Success in a culture for Learning
Fostering and Supporting a Commitment to Professional Growth for All
Enhancing School and Community Partnerships
Promoting Wellness in a Safe and Caring Community
Regardless of the plan we have in place, we will always be committed to growing our system and building the capacity of its students and teachers. The strength of our system is a direct result of the commitment of the people who work in it day in and day out. It is a testament to the innovative practices, the caring environments and the unbridled pride that permeates our system. Above all else, it is a testament to the eagerness and willingness of our students to commit themselves to learning and growing on a daily basis.

Goal 1: Increased Graduation Rate and Qualification Rate
Level of AccomplishmentThe overall LBPSB graduation rate for the cohort of students who entered our Secondary Schools in 2007 was 87.3%. This is a 1.1% increase from the 2006 cohort and is a result which exceeds our initial 2015 target by 1.8%. Over the lifetime of our plan, our global success rate has improved by 4.8%.
There was a 1% decline in the contribution attributable to the Continuing Education sector from the high 7.4% in 2013-14 to 6.4% in 2014-15. Overall, however, the 6.4% figure represents an increase of 1.3% from 2008 and exceeds the projected target set in the initial plan. The five-year average contribution from the Continuing Education sector was 6.64%
June 2016 saw our highest success rate ever in our Mathematics CST option at the Secondary IV level. Long one of our most vulnerable areas, our success rate climbed a 23% from June 2015! The 82% success rate was 17% higher than our 2010 baseline. It must be noted that 2015-16 was the first year in which students at the Secondary IV level studied in the newly balanced CST program where a number of core elements were shifted into the Secondary V curriculum. This shift afforded teachers significantly more time to cover and review concepts over the course of the school year.
Success rates in History (83%), Histoire (94%), General Science (89%) and Applied Science (87%) were all the highest they have been since the 2012 school year. The success rate in the History program represents a jump of 15% from June 2015.
The overall dropout rate declined from 13.7% to 13.1% from 2013-14 while the rate for boys fell from 17% to 15.9%. Over the lifetime of the plan, the dropout rate for boys (specific target) fell nearly five full points from 20.8% to 15.9%.
We once again saw a drop in our success rates on our Elementary End-of-Cycle Mathematics evaluation. In 2010, we set a target of 83% success by 2015, a figure we approached through the heart of the 2010-15 plan. However, we have seen a steady decline in results since 2012-13 with the success rate of 73% from June 2016 being our lowest in six years. We have made significant investment in professional development and planning in the Mathematics program in the past three years and we are confident that we can reverse this trend.
Situation AnalysisIt will be critical to maintain our focus on Mathematics education in the coming years. The links between capacity in Mathematics and facility in other subject areas are well documented. The investment which the English Education Community has made in its Mathematics training has been significant. It is essential that Lester B. Pearson remain a leader in that investment and continue to look for innovative and engaging means of growing our students’ capacity in this area.

Goal 1: Increased Graduation Rate and Qualification Rate
Lester B. Pearson continues to grow in the Continuing Education sector. In the coming years, we anticipate that planned expansions to the West Island Career Center and Sources Adult and Career Center will help to service the growing program demands from our adult populations. Ongoing work at the Verdun Adult and Career Center is designed to accommodate populations in the eastern end of the board’s territory, including its growing international student population.
The Continuing Education Sector and Youth Sector have maintained their commitment to exposing young students to the opportunities which are available to them within our system. Our annual Vocational Roadshow, promoting program options for youth within our system, visited every secondary school in our system in the spring of 2016. The annual Career and Education Fair was not staged in 2015-16 but Secondary Guidance Counsellors remained vigilant in orienting students to the range of possibilities available to them to continue their studies upon high school completion.
We remain committed to ensuring successful transitions for students over the course of their school life. In April, we again hosted a mini-day for all of our Grade 6 students in the system, allowing them the opportunity to visit their high schools of choice for September. This day permits students to meet teachers, staff and peers from other schools as well as affording them the chance to acclimatize themselves with their new surroundings in the high school. Lester B. Pearson has an extensive list of programs promoting school readiness for four-year-olds. Our preschool programs at Verdun Elementary (half-day) and Riverview Elementary (full-day) are well subscribed and continue to offer valuable service to students in the Verdun community. In addition, readiness programs were launched at both Springdale and Greendale elementary schools and the Riverdale Community Learning Center maintained its playgroup and lending library for preschoolers.
The LBPSB International Studies Program continued its growth in 2015-16, with numbers in the Vocational Education sector providing the bulk of the increase. There were a total of 1,474 students registered under the ILC umbrella, 1,323 of which were assigned to the Adult and Vocational sector.
The Lester B. Pearson School Board remains a trendsetter in the province and the country with respect to the integration of technology as a tool for teaching and learning. We once again welcomed educators from across Quebec, Eastern Ontario and northern New England with a Future Ready Summit at Lakeside Academy in May. Unlike previous summits, this one included a full-day of student workshops on the eve of the summit proper. Over one hundred and forty students participated in this adventure, engaging in maker-space activities, design challenges, creation workshops and Breakout EDU sessions. Similar workshops were held for teachers in the days to follow.
Schools continued to innovate and take risks with special educational projects and initiatives. Christmas Park Elementary launched its Innovation Center, complete with Lego Walls, robots, green screens and Raspberry Pi computer systems. Forest Hill Senior. has drawn praise for its innovative use of space in the school, applying the principles of Universal Design for Learning to create a flexible learning environment for students. Its extraordinary Club Energie initiative has drawn visitors from across the province. Throughout the system, schools continued to orient themselves to STEAM approaches, integrating pedagogy and giving students the freedom to create, collaborate, consume and think critically about their learning and their world.

Goal 2: Improved Mastery of English and French Language Skills
School Board ContextBuilding capacity in both French and English was a focal point of both the MEES and LBPSB plans from 2010-15. We remain committed to the fundamental mandate of graduating students who are at ease reading, writing and speaking both English and French. We see that mandate as critical to ensuring the continued vitality of our community. A number of very specific indicators are used to measure our success in this domain:

Level of AccomplishmentOur students achieved remarkable results in the summative evaluations carried out at the end of Cycle III in both English and French. In fact, the success rates in English Language Arts (92%) and French Second Language (95%) were the highest they have been in six years. They represent an increase of 14% and 16% respectively from the baselines established at the beginning of the planning cycle.
Results in the Secondary V Uniform French Reading exam dropped slightly for the second straight year. There was a 4% disparity between the success rate in our “Français du Base” and “Français Enrichi” results, a disparity consistent with outcomes in 2014-15. While the slight regression from 2013-14 is noted, it is equally notable that the 2015-16 results still represent over a twenty point improvement over the baseline year of 2009.
Our success rates in the Secondary V Uniform French Writing exam were exemplary. At both levels, over 90% of students were successful in this volé with 97% of Enrichi students achieving passing standards.
Situation AnalysisIt is imperative that Lester B. Pearson maintains its commitment to sound early literacy practices. Our preschool program (Kindergarten/Maternelle) is the critical gateway for all students. It is there where the foundations of literacy capacity are established, foundations which serve students moving forward in both English and French. Vocabulary building, sound identification, letter sound association and oral fluency remain critical points of focus in pre-readers. Our preschool and Cycle I programs continue to excel at using play, music and dialogue to build these skills in students.
Many of our schools have recognized the need to build skills in visual literacy in students. While text based communication continues as a focus, we must also be mindful that in a 21st Century context, students are constantly interacting with static and dynamic images. The capacity to read and interpret those images should also be considered as part of the literacy skill set in years to come. Many schools in our system have made good use of tools such as Google Read and Write to afford students the chance to work on their fluency, engage with text and provide evidence of learning to classroom teachers.
Our mission to graduate students capable of living and working in both English and French progresses. Evaluations at the end of Secondary V suggest that our students are meeting program standards at both the “du Base” and “Enrichi” levels at exemplary rates of success. The critical next step is translating that program success into greater capacity to integrate and feel confident in applying the obtained skills.
In 2015-16 we were proud to add two additional schools to the Français Plus network in Beechwood and the newly merged Sherbrooke Academy in Beaconsfield. Considerable time has been invested in building the Français Plus program and in 2016 efforts were made to try and coordinate the program application across the system. Grant money from the Entente Canada-Québec enabled school administrators and teachers from the Français Plus network to meet and iron out some of the challenges they have faced in implementing the model.
Important innovations and transformations continue to invigorate the system. The Innovation Center at Christmas Park Elementary and the innovative use of space at Forrest Hill Senior are but two examples. We continue to see schools take steps towards reimagining their school projects and their approaches to teaching. A number of interesting and innovative projects emerged in 2015-16 including a three-year coding program at Riverdale High School, a robotics concentration at Lakeside and a new STEAM initiative at Lindsay Place. At the elementary level, schools such as Allion, Riverview, Dorset, Evergreen and St. Charles continue their work in integrated pedagogy using technology.

Résultats de la Commission scolaire
School Board Context Lester B. Pearson remains fully committed to its inclusive practices. The provision of supports and adaptations for students with special needs means that youngsters can progress through their elementary school years with their peers, growing and developing socially while they build the necessary skill set for success. Of students leaving our elementary system at the end of 2014-15 and entering high school for the 2015-16 academic year, 95.7% were 12 years of age or younger. This means consistent with their peer group. The provincial average for the same cohort of students was 88.2% a difference of 7.5%.
Students with special needs are strongly encouraged to attend their neighbourhood school at the elementary level. They are equally encouraged to partake fully in the process of exploring and selecting a secondary school which they feel best suits their needs and learning style.
Level of AccomplishmentIn 2015-16, 13.4% of grade 11 students had an identified special need (261/1954). Of those graduating, 72% were students with learning or behavior difficulties while 28% were students with a handicapping condition. Those who did not obtain a diploma in 2016 may be working toward graduating in the future or working towards attestation and qualification in a specified pathway.
Professional development opportunities for teachers in the Work Oriented Training Pathway were somewhat limited in 2015-16. The particular labour situation which persisted through the first half of the school year greatly limited pd opportunities. More importantly, the fact that our WOTP programs are now fairly well established has meant that teachers are partaking in regular offerings of professional development, workshop opportunities afforded all teachers in the system. After six years of implementation, there is less need for specific training in this pathway and more of an orientation to general practices and approaches which are offered across the network.
Situation AnalysisThe LBPSB Student Services Department continues to provide the four complementary educational programs prescribed by Quebec’s Ministère de l’Éducation, de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche. The Student Services Department mandate is to support schools in their quest to maximize the potential of each student and foster an inclusive and responsive learning environment. The four complimentary services are Support Services, Assistance Services, Promotion and Prevention Services and Student Life Services.
As noted above, we continue to experience growth in program provision for students experiencing academic delays at the high school level. Specifically, the Work Oriented Training Pathway has proven to be a viable option for students seeking a different road to success. In 2015-16, eight of our secondary schools offered student options in either pre-work or semi-skilled programs leading to MEES qualifications. One school, Pierrefonds Comprehensive, offered the Projet Particulier, a transitional program for Secondary III students still on track for graduation but requiring special considerations in course offerings.
Now in its 5th year, Student Services offers Youth Outreach Services for secondary students who are at risk of dropping out of school. A professional charged with this dossier follows up with referred students and their families to encourage them to remain in school and connect them to any necessary services. In 2015-16, 23 students (13 male/10 females) were referred to the YOS professional by their home high school. Of these referrals, 13 students continued their studies and completed the year, 8 were referred or registered in continuing education, and 2 students chose to leave school before the end of the school year.

School Board Context
Educating, qualifying and socializing students remain the three fundamental cornerstones of our mandate from the MEES. For students to learn, they must feel safe and secure in their environment and we must acknowledge our obligation to provide them that environment at school. In any number of domains, Lester B. Pearson remains active in promoting wellness, whether it is emotional, physical or social.
We continued our engagement with The Learning Bar’s “Our School” survey (formerly TTFM) for 2015-16. The survey is administered twice per year to students from grades 4-11 and provides us a range of indicators on issues related to school climate. For the first time in 2015-16 we administered Learning Bar’s “Student Engagement Thematic Survey” which provided us some rich new indicators on the degree to which students are engaged and committed to their school program. We continued to administer the “Bullying and School Safety Thematic Survey”, targeting this indicator in our November session. Nearly 9,000 student surveys were administered in 34 elementary schools in the November and April survey windows. Over 10,000 student surveys were completed across the network of 13 secondary schools in the Lester B. Pearson School Board.

Situation AnalysisA number of indicators in The Learning Bar’s “Our School” survey provide glimpses of the social climate in Lester B. Pearson Schools. One of the truly powerful indicators the survey provides is the degree to which students feel a sense of belonging to their school.
At the elementary level 80% of students had a high sense of belonging below the Canadian norm for these grades of 86%. For Lester B. Pearson students, 78% of the girls and 82% of the boys had a high sense of belonging. The Canadian norm for girls is 86% and for boys is 85%.
Level of AccomplishmentThere are currently 41 active partnerships established between LBP schools and grass-root community organizations and/or long-term collaborators in our system. These partners can range from departments of the Health and Social Services Ministry to local community food banks anxious to provide direct service to families in need.
Some of the new partnerships established in 2015-16 include:• 2015-2016 Forest Hill Senior “physical literacy project”.• Several meetings were held with personnel of Stop Now And Plan (SNAP), a community organisation supporting
students and their families making better choices now servicing in many LBPSB schools.• Westwood Senior High School bullying prevention movie • Mental health portrait conference• Juripop PD (Off-Island) • Club Énergie Pierre Lavoie
Lester B. Pearson schools remained committed to the ideals of Bill 56, an Act to Stop Bullying and Violence in Schools. All schools continue to review and update their Anti-Bullying/Anti-Violence plans annually and adhere to the expectations of the legislation in terms of making those plans available to their communities and living to their parameters.
The LBPSB Student Services Department was extremely active in organizing events and information sessions designed to inform our public about pressing issues related to physical and sexual well being.
These events included:• 3 Partners in Prevention events• 3 sessions on Sexting• Workshops were given on creating positive environments to lunch and day care personnel in several schools• 1 day training offered by CALACS to LBPSB staff and other members of the sexual violence prevention committee• Body Run: Pairing of SN students ( Beaconsfield High School)• Peer mediation workshop (Beechwood & PCHS)• Free writers ( Lakeside & Maplegrove)• United Nation Model (Westwood Sr.)
Finally, the LBPSB was proud to support Riverview Elementary in its piloting of the province’s new Sex Education program at the first, third and fifth grade levels. We are equally proud to be supporting the school team in the second year of this pilot in 2016-17.
Goal 4: Promoting Wellness in a Safe and Caring Community
21
Across the secondary system 65% of students feel accepted and valued by their peers and by others at their school. The Canadian norm for these grades is 72%. The split between girls and boys is 61% and 70% respectively. The Canadian norm for girls is 71% and for boys is 72%.
Other results from The Learning Bar’s Tell Them From Me Survey provide
a snapshot of the health of our system.
We are encouraged by the degree to which our students feel comfortable turning to advocates at school for support. At the elementary level 62% of students feel they have someone at school who consistently provides encouragement and can be turned to for advice. This is thirteen points above the national average. This indicator is evenly distributed between boys and girls.
The same indicator is less pronounced at the secondary level where only 27% of students report having a sense of a strong advocate available to them. This is just one point below the Canadian norm of 28%. For Lester B. Pearson, advocacy at school was rated 2.4 out of 10 by girls and 3 out of 10 by boys. The Canadian norm for girls is 2.7 and for boys is 2.8.
At the elementary level, 24% of students reported having been subjected to some form of physical, verbal, social or cyber intimidation either at school or at home. There is a noticeable gap in the indicator for boys (27%) and girls (22%). The Canadian norm for elementary students is 26%. The Canadian norm for girls is 26% and for boys is 26%
The number of students reporting as victims of bullying, exclusion or harassment at the secondary level was 16%, three points lower than in 2014-15 and seven points below the national average. Girls reported at 16%, boys at 17%, five and eight points below the national average respectively. The distributions at the secondary level continue to spread evenly across grade levels.

Goal 5: Increased Enrollment of Students Under 20 Years of Age in Vocational Training
School Board ContextThe Vocational Education Sector continues to show consistent growth and expansion. In 2010, the Lester B. Pearson School Board set an ambitious target of increasing the number of full-time equivalencies (ETP’s) in the Vocational Sector for students under 20 years of age by 15%. That target was exceeded by the third year the plan and has grown annually since. From a baseline of 224 students in 2009, there are currently 311 student ETP’s in the Vocational Sector for students under 20. That is a leap of approximately 40% over the lifespan of the plan.
In addition to the growth in ETP’s for students under the age of 20, there was considerable overall growth in the Vocational Sector. The Business Solutions Department, housed at the Pearson Electrotechnology Center in Lachine, continued its expansion and provision of services to adults looking to return to school (SARCA) and in the recognition of acquired competencies (RAC) process, which allows students to obtain recognition for competencies acquired on the job or through real-life experiences. This innovative approach is only one example of the new and interesting trails being broken in this sector.

Level of AccomplishmentBoth the West Island Career Center and Pearson Electrotechnology Center expansions are complete. In fact, in the wake of Major School Change decisions, the WICC campus is again poised for expansion and registration growth. The Sources Adult and Career Center on the campus of Riverdale High School is also slated for expansion as a consequence of MSC decisions. Finally, the Verdun Adult and Career Center (VACC) on the campus of Beurling Academy is set to open its doors to students in January 2017.
There were 46 projects across the system in which Youth and Vocational Sector collaboration was at the forefront. This would include arranged visits of high school students to vocational centers or reciprocal information sessions delivered to high
school classes by voc ed representatives. Once again, the Vocational Road Show toured the secondary schools of the board, putting on 18 shows to help expose students to the possible advantages of pursuing the option of professional training upon graduation. Twenty-eight of our elementary schools participated in partnership activities with the Vocational Sector.
Situation AnalysisWe anticipate continued growth in the area of professional training in the years to come. More and more, youth sector students are considering the vocational option and seeing the merits of pursuing direct training in one of the many programs at their disposal. The Continuing Education Department has done an exemplary job of promoting its programs from within, reaching out to students and providing them clear messages about their options moving forward.

2014-2015 Annual Report – Student Ombudsman Page 1
Office of the Student Ombudsman
2014-2015 ANNUAL REPORT
It is my pleasure to submit my annual report as Student Ombudsman, as required
by Article 12 of By-Law 9. This report covers the period from September 2014 to August
31, 2015.
A total of fifty-eight (58) cases were brought to my attention. The majority of
complainants, both parents and students, located me through the Lester B. Pearson website;
however some parents mentioned that they were referred by the Ministry of Education.
Most parents and students contacted the Student Ombudsman by phone, and very few cases
were handled exclusively by email. Out of fifty-eight (58) complaints processed, four (4)
were of the formal variety and came after a decision of the Council of Commissioners.
While no specific type of problem stands out, the statistics show that 28% of the
complaints concerned conflict with staff members, mainly teachers (16 cases); 22% related
to accessing information; and 16% concerned school regulations and code of conduct. The
large majority of the complainants were parents (86%). Some parents or students expressed
their appreciation of the Student Ombudsman’s function, mostly because they felt listened
to, therefore giving them a better understanding of the complaint process.
