The Simcoe County District School Board is looking for community volunteers interested in serving on the Accessibility Advisory Committee.
People with disabilities and members of families of people with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
The Accessibility Advisory Committee is a group of volunteers, partners, and SCDSB staff who work together to support the board in removing physical barriers to accessibility in schools.
Members of the Accessibility Advisory Committee fulfill a variety of activities including advising on the preparation, implementation and effectiveness of the board’s annual accessibility plan; reviewing and advising on accessibility issues relating to identified facilities; and advising on other accessibility issues within SCDSB schools.
To be eligible, applicants must be a resident of the County of Simcoe and over 18 years of age.
Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act 2005, the majority of committee members shall include people with disabilities. The committee meets five times throughout the school year and completes school accessibility audits twice a year.
Interested individuals are invited to apply to be a member of the SCDSB Accessibility Advisory Committee by emailing a letter of interest to Carrie Rumble at crumble@scdsb.on.ca by Nov. 29, 2024.
Applicants who are shortlisted may be required to attend a short interview conducted by the Recruitment Committee.
