Policy Vetting and Tracking

In keeping with Niagara Catholic’s commitment to openness and transparency, the Board has established an extensive vetting process for its policies.

As part of the vetting process, Niagara Catholic students, parents, guardians, staff, Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC), Niagara Catholic Parent Involvement Committee (NCPIC), Diocese of St. Catharines and members of the Niagara Catholic community are invited to submit their feedback.

Once the vetting process is completed, the feedback received is taken into consideration by Senior Administrative Council. A summary of the vetting and any revisions to the policy are presented to the Policy Committee for consideration and recommendation to the Committee of the Whole. Once approved by the Committee of the Whole, the policy is then forwarded to the Board for consideration and final approval.
