School boards have an obligation to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Without an amendment requiring information sharing, we simply can't do our job. Without it we may very well be putting other students and staff at risk. An open and collegial relationship between all those who work for children s best interests is essential. CSBA has published guidelines to assist boards in handling information on young offenders. The guide covers everything from designating who will manage the information, and how to work with justice officials, right through to how and when to destroy records.
