PIC Policy Laundering

Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) quietly passed an anti-racism policy this fall. The Board claimed parent consultation via the Parent Involvement Committee (PIC) but didn’t mention that at least three of six parents opposed the policy. We describe this stealth policymaking, which includes not publicly disclosing draft policies, isolating parents in small groups, and not responding to emails. This is a public episode.
