The Greater Victoria School District (GVSD) is committed to ensuring that all students and staff have equitable access to our programs, services, and buildings. We recognize the importance of accessibility for those with disabilities and for the entire community.
To move this work forward, it is critical that students, staff, and community members with disabilities (and/or those who represent them) have a voice in identifying, preventing, and removing barriers that may exist in our district learning environments and workplaces.
Accessibility plan
The Greater Victoria School District’s Accessibility Plan provides a framework to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility within our district. The District’s Accessibility Advisory Group developed the plan, which will be updated every three years. As we implement this plan, and work to make our district more accessible, we invite you to share your thoughts with us.
