Keeping Our Kids Safe At School Act
(Bill 157)

As of February 1st, 2010, Bill 157 (Keeping Our Kids Safe At School Act) came into effect.

The objective of Bill 157 is to promote positive student behaviour and continue ongoing efforts to make Ontario's schools safer for students and staff.  A positive school climate, with a safe learning and teaching environment, is essential for students to succeed in school.  All of us -- staff, students, parents and community agencies -- have a part to play in making schools safer.

As part of our plan to inform and educate WCI students and parents about this new legislation, we have included information about Bill 157 here.
