ISAAM1 STUDENT SERVICES ADMINISTRATORS' ASSOCIATION OF MANITOBA<br />
REPORT FROM MINISTER OF EDUCATION'S<br />
"Safe Schools' Committee"<br />
iOWaf&i -1:00 - 3:00 PM<br />
Fort Garry Hotel, Winnipeg<br />
Stakeholder Groups: Manitoba Association of School Trustees, Manitoba Association of School Superintendents, Parent Advisory<br />
Council Student Services Administrators' Association of Manitoba<br />
Representatives from the Ontario Government and the Alberta Government were invited to share their Safe Schools Initiatives with<br />
the stakeholders groups<br />
a Ontario's initiative seemed to be very much a top-down response to providing safe schools<br />
a Clear delineation of offences for which students could be suspended or expelled —expulsion applies to and<br />
is upheld by all school divisions in the province<br />
a Rights and responsibilities of students defined<br />
a Response focused on principle that students who were expelled did not have consistent opportunities for<br />
meaningful intervention - Safe Schools Project - to set policy and standards for safe learning and teaching<br />
environment; support the implementation of safe schools and; monitor implementation of safe schools<br />
a Led to revisions to the Ontario Education Act; development of Code of Conduct and outlined<br />
mandatory suspensions and expulsions as well as appeals process<br />
a Identified mitigating circumstances ie limited capacity to understand consequences of behaviour<br />
a Established preventative measures through curriculum on social skills and decision making as well as<br />
Choices Into Action (guidance document)<br />
a Provided training for Senior Administrators, Board members, Coordinators, Teachers and all related<br />
personnel<br />
a Also developed Strict Discipline Programming as a mechanism for preparing fully expelled students<br />
for re-integration hi Ontario Schools — highly structured intervention that focuses on both academic<br />
and non-academic curricula to enhance school achievement and address behavioural problems that led<br />
to explusion - involves teachers, social workers and youth workers - readiness for re-entry must be<br />
assessed<br />
a Alberta's response had a top-down element but seemed to be more bottom-up<br />
a Appeared to be less of a focus on legislation<br />
a Focus of the initiative more on encouraging and supporting Boards to develop clear and consistent<br />
discipline policies - attempt centered around George Sugai's model throughout the province<br />
a Lots of work being done on Bullying programs with strategies for schools<br />
a Clear message that expulsion did not eliminate the school system's responsibility for the student<br />
a Minister of Education appears to be in mode of gathering information to support the development of his<br />
own safe schools initiative and policies<br />
a Next meeting was scheduled for approximately 3 weeks but has been put on hold until after the election<br />
