The Department of Education School Procedures Handbook document was created in 2015 to provide procedural guidance and forms to school staff that pertains to day-to-day operations. This document received updates between 2017 and 2022. A significant update was made to the Student Safety section as a part of the work of the Safer Schools Action Plan when a procedure on preventing and responding to harm by adults was added. It was last updated in 2024 with a watermark and disclaimer explaining it is under review. Some of the procedures contain outdated information.
The Department of Education is actively working to review, update, and align operations and procedures for inclusive and special education. Users and readers are advised to verify information and consult with the appropriate contact, such as the Student Support Services branch at studentsupportservices@yukon.ca, for the most current guidance.
