At the OCDSB, the safety of students and staff is always our first priority. Like other Ontario school districts, the OCDSB has seen an increase in the number of behavioural issues reported in schools. This is an issue we have been working to understand at the individual student level and at the system level.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is committed to providing an equitable and inclusive learning space for all students to support their academic success and well-being.
