* Implementation Motion, from Board meeting minutes
From the Burnaby School District website:
Our Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity policy (SOGI) is one such policy. It has been in place since June 2011. The Burnaby Board of Education built the policy through a collaborative process, including reaching out to the public and other stakeholders for input.
A Ministry of Education policy that came into effect on July 1, 2017 states that boards of education must approve education resource materials (i.e. learning resources or curriculum supplements such as SOGI 123) chosen for use in their schools.

It appears that the Burnaby Board of Education has not yet approved or disapproved the SOGI 123 learning resource for use in its classrooms.

** Classroom Motion
THAT the Board of Education directs the Superintendent to continue to promote a respectful educational environment for all students, by removing the SOGI 123 learning resource from classroom instructional time.
