Supporting Our Diverse School Community (Pride Flag - April 2021)

Indigenous Equity and Human Rights Roadmap
Trustee Agnew tabled this motion, which passed. The motion put into action an overhaul of the Board's efforts towards addressing Indigenous and Human Rights education communication to the community.
Bullying Prevention and Intervention
Trustee Agnew tabled this motion, arguing that bullying prevention and intervention needs to be an ongoing initiative at HCDSB, and not just addressed on an ad-hoc basis. The standing committee would allow HCDSB to be more proactive in addressing issues and strategies related to bullying.
Strengthening Community Relationships (Pride Flag - January 2022)
In her opening statement on her motion, Trustee Agnew said, "...the Flag is an internationally recognized way to recognize 2SLGBTQ+ members and failing to do so further stigmatizes this community; not about sex or sexual acts; not about turning back on religion or faith; not about politics - it's about people, love, and acceptance. Negative words and barbs from people who want to exclude the 2SLGBTQ+ community are not tolerated." Trustee Agnew shared a message received from a 2SLGBTQ+ staff member and how the support they received from staff and students, including coming out to their class, and the importance of Trustee Agnew's motion and the flag. Trustee Agnew finished by saying that there is no ability to say "I want to fly the flag, but..." there can be no but. Fly the flag.
