Delta School District Seeking Volunteers for Accessibility Advisory Committee

The Delta School District is looking for student, staff and community volunteers interested in serving on its Accessibility Advisory Committee.

The Accessibility Advisory Committee is dedicated to identifying social, physical, sensory and other barriers that prevent people from fully participating in all aspects of school community life and advising on strategies to reduce them, ensuring a more inclusive and accessible environment.

If you are interested in helping our school district become more accessible and welcoming to all, please complete the online application  (or copy and paste this link into your browser:  https://forms.gle/UnQJP7uDdLQX5AFC8) by February 7, 2025.

Applicants who are shortlisted may be required to attend a short interview. Committee appointments will be made based on best fit and in accordance with the Accessible BC Act and the applicant criteria.

Applicant Criteria

The Accessible BC Act stipulates that advisory committees should feature a broad spectrum of people to represent B.C.’s diverse population. Committees must include an Indigenous person, and at least half of the members must be people with disabilities, members of families of people with disabilities, or members of organizations that support people with disabilities. It is expected that all other members and organizations associated with the school district will be represented within the Accessibility Advisory Committee, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Delta Student Representative or Delta Youth Advisory Committee (DYAC)
  • Delta Parents Advisory Committee (DPAC)
  • Indigenous Education Department
  • Delta Teacher Association (DTA)
  • CUPE 1091
  • Delta Principals & Vice Principals Association (DPVPA)

To be eligible, applicants must also be a resident of the City of Delta or study, work or volunteer in Delta, or have children that study in Delta.

Accessibility Plan 

The Delta School District has developed an Accessibility Plan which will be reviewed and updated at least once every three years in accordance with the Accessible British Columbia Act with the support of the Accessibility Advisory Committee. In addition to the committee, the district has established a working group made up of leaders within departments and schools who will carry out the work devised in the Accessibility Plan.

Contact 

If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Braid, District Principal, Employee Services at nbraid@deltaschools.ca or 604 952 2939.
