What’s Happening at the Board Table
Regular Meetings of the Board of Trustees take place on the first and third Tuesday of each month from September through June. Effective November 15, 2022, the Board of Trustees are meeting fully in person, and we have reopened the gallery to members of the public who want to attend watch our Board Meetings as they are in session. Meetings take place in the Board Room of our Catholic Education Centre, located at 802 Drury Lane in Burlington. We will also continue live-streaming and posting meetings for later viewing on our HCDSB YouTube channel.

Policies for Stakeholder Consultation
HCDSB values community input and participation through the Policy Stakeholder Consultation process. Following the first reading of any new policy, or at any time as determined by the Policy Committee, a policy will be vetted for input through our HCDSB stakeholder groups, typically for a period of three (3) weeks.
When a feedback form is open for a particular policy, stakeholders are welcome to provide comments, make suggestions on the wording and provisions of the draft policies, ask questions and/or provide recommendations using the online feedback form.
Policies released for stakeholder consultation are posted on the HCDSB website. Learn more about the policy review process in the Policy Review Cycle Flowchart.
