Changes include switching wording from 香蕉视频直播渨omen or men香蕉视频直播� to 香蕉视频直播減eople of any gender香蕉视频直播�, including the 香蕉视频直播�+香蕉视频直播� sign into their current LGBTQ terminology and changing pronouns like 香蕉视频直播渉is/her香蕉视频直播� into gender neutral language like 香蕉视频直播渢heir香蕉视频直播�.

The changes mean there will be approximately seven minor edits made over nine pages of school board documents.

During a review of the school policies last year, students of the district香蕉视频直播檚 human rights committee helped to make the proposed changes in the documents.

Superintendent of Central Okanagan Public Schools Kevin Kardaal said the changes will help give more understanding of LGBTQS+ terminology.

Steps have already been made to support the LGBTQ2S+ community in the province. In 2017, the B.C. government launched a three-year diversity and inclusion action plan to help recruit, develop and retain a diverse talent pool in the workplace.

At the Wednesday meeting, the school district also approved a policy which clarified how district employees should go about reporting threats of violence in the workplace.
