I AM: Student Census
Like many school boards across Ontario, the Lakehead District School Board will soon launch the Student Census project! The Student Census project is funded by the Government of Ontario and collects student identity information to better understand students and student needs. The data collected from the Student Identity Survey is confidential. The data collected from the census will be used to:
• get an accurate picture of the composition of the student population;
• identify and address barriers to equity of access and outcomes for students; and
• enhance decision-making about programs and supports necessary for student well-being and
success.
