Expression of Interest for Student Census Advisory Groups
The Greater Essex County District School Board is seeking volunteers to sit on Student Census Advisory Groups for specific identity groups.
In the spring of 2023, the Greater Essex County District School Board (GECDSB) undertook a Student Census to get a better understanding of the students and communities that we serve, and to identify any potential gaps and/or barriers to student success within our Board.
While the data is important, understanding the lived experiences of those who the data represents is even more important and vital to the success of this work. Advisory groups will work collaboratively, and share lived experiences that will help us to analyze and interpret the data, identify barriers, and support all students in our Board to be successful.
We are seeking members for the following advisory groups:- Indigenous students
- Black students
- Middle Eastern students
- 2SLGBTQIA+ students
- South Asian students
- East Asian students
- self-identify as belonging to the group, and/or,
- be a parent, guardian, or caregiver of a child who self-identifies as belonging to the group, and/or,
- be an agency, community organization or community partner that provides specific supports and/or resources to individuals who self-identify as belonging to the group.
- name of the advisory group(s) you are interested in participating on
- your name and pronouns
- your email and telephone number
- some background on why you are interested in the advisory group, confirming that you live and/or work in the GECDSB region and meet one of the three requirements to join the advisory group
