Accessibility in Mission Public Schools

We want to know the specific barriers people with disabilities face when they are trying to:

• Access a school district program, building or information
• Receive a service or support

Use this form to describe experiences, and make recommendations on how barriers can be removed or improved upon.

The application process is now closed. We are reviewing applications and will be in touch soon.

The Mission Public Schools Accessibility Committee will have 5-10 members picked by the Superintendent of Schools and/or Director of Instruction for student services, with at least one member who self-identifies as having Indigenous ancestry. Membership will follow the structure outlined in the Accessible British Columbia Act. At least half the committee will include:

• People with children or youth in MPSD with current or emergent considerations related to disability and accessibility, and/or
