Timeline

2016 – Human Rights Code modified with addition of “gender identity or expression”

2017 – Ministry of Education policy delegates approval of Learning Resources to local Boards of Education.
Quoting from the Ministry’s policy on learning resources,
“The Ministry of Education no longer conducts evaluation processes to recommend learning resources. This responsibility now rests with boards. Board policies and procedures should include a process for ensuring the list of recommended learning resources is up to date and aligned with changes in curriculum. This would include adding and removing resources from the list.”

2018 – the Chilliwack Board of Education revises Policy 601 to delegate the responsibility to “select and deselect” Learning Resources to professional staff.

The result of the Chilliwack Board of Education delegating its responsibility for learning resources to its professional staff is that it appears the SOGI 123 Learning Resource has been neither approved nor disapproved for use in the Chilliwack school district.
